vultures. They can't wait to eat our bodies once we die. Let's just stop fighting," said

vultures. That will certainly happen if we get hurt or die," replied the pig.

Blueberries are flowering plants of the genus Vaccinium with dark-blue, purple
or blackberries. Species in the section Cyanococcus are the most common fruits sold
as 'blueberries' and are mainly native to North America. They are usually erect but
sometimes flat shrubs varying in size from 10 cm to 4 m tall. The leaves can be either
deciduous or evergreen. They are oval shaped like a two-dimensional section through
an egg, with 1-8 cm long and 0,5 - 3,5 cm broad. The flowers are bell-shaped, white,
pale pink or red, sometimes tinged greenish.
The fruit is a false berry 5-16 mm diameter with a sparkled crown at the end;
they are pale greenish at first, then reddish-purple, and finally blue on ripening. They
have a sweet taste when mature, with variable acidity. Blueberry bushes typically bear
fruit from May through June. Fruiting times are affected by local conditions such as
altitude and latitude.
We can get many benefits if we consume blueberries. They contain antioxidants
and are useful for human nervous system and brain health. People may have them in
juice. They are considered as a low 01 fruit, means they have a favorable impact on
blood sugar regulation. Diabetic people are safe to consume it. We can freeze them
without losing their delicate anthocyanin antioxidants until six months.
