Category/Blueberry nectars

From Open Food Facts wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Blueberry nectars contain juice from wild or cultivated blueberries (wikipedia). EU legislation requires a minimum of 40% blueberry fraction and a maximum of 99%.

There might be a difference between the American blueberry and the European blueberry. Current products are mostly the European one.

There is often confusion in Spanish between the arándano (silvestre) and arándano rojo (the cranberry) and thus misplaced in this category.
