In their natural state, berries (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, etc.) are at their best in the summer months, starting from May until the beginning of September. Once their season is over, the price begins to hike up while the quality diminishes. Your berries will be smaller, duller, sometimes shriveled, and basically lifeless.
These little fruits are full of antioxidants, like anthocyanin, resveratrol, and ellagic acid (via Healthline). According to Verywell Health, anthocyanins give these fruits their pigmentation and help protect them from the elements. Though the research is still in preliminary stages, berries and other fruits high in anthocyanins might help reduce the risk of heart disease and contribute to preventing breast cancer. Furthermore, a 2014 study published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry demonstrated that berries contain anti-inflammatory properties.
It might seem smart to keep canned berries in your home, but there's one major health-defying ingredient you're going to want to look into first: sugar. The U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council states that a 1-cup serving of fresh blueberries contains 14 grams of natural sugar, while the same serving size of frozen blueberries contains 12 grams. When it comes to canned blueberries — in light syrup, no less — a ½ cup serving contains 22 grams of sugar (via HEB).
If your favorite berry isn't in season, skip the can and go for frozen. Sure, canned berries are great for desserts and toppings, but they'll also put you into a sugar coma and counter all of their benefits.
