Other fruits such as cherries and prunes have also been added to burgers. Members of the fruit industry are beginning to compete for shares of the fruit-filled burger market as interest in the product increases.
Researchers are planning taste tests for the fruit burgers and hope to offer the new burgers to the federal school lunch program.

I am a major fan of blueberries, not only for their taste but also for their potent brain benefits. Blueberries are also high in cancer-fighting antioxidants.
However, the biggest benefit of blueberries may be in preventing the formation of heterocyclic amines, carcinogenic substances that are formed when meats are cooked at high temperatures by frying, boiling or barbecuing. Certain fruits like blueberries and cherries can drastically inhibit the formation of the heterocyclic amines.
Blueberries also contain a variety of potent phytochemcials that can do wonders to normalize and improve health, and since they are low in sugar they won’t stimulate severe insulin swings if eaten in moderation.
However, if you eat too many blueberries, you will release too much sugar in your system that will cause insulin levels to rise and, eventually, a worsening rather than an improvement in your health, so enjoy all that blueberries have to offer but be careful to not overdo it.
We now carry delicious and convenient Wild Blueberry IQ Softgel Capsules in our store that are made from whole fresh blueberries -- and contain 40mg of potent disease fighting anthocyanins per capsule -- more than any other available supplement!

Let the world eat meat if that's what they like. I prefer fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts. They have been my preference even as a child.
Don't know my nutritional type, and don't care what it is. There has to be something said about what a person is comfortable with eating.
Perfectly happy to let the rest put berries with their meat to make it safer. Buy super "Green" foods, and all the other plant derived foods to stay healthy. I do too, they go great with my veggies, and in my green smoothies.
