Like Ponce de León searching for the Fountain of Youth, food manufacturers are always on the hunt for the next superfruit. While there is no exact definition of a superfruit, any fruit with a high antioxidant content — and thus potential to stave off the effects of aging — is a ripe candidate.
Some superfruits can also help reduce stress and might be ideal for today’s anxious consumers. Many fruits frequently used in dairy, including tart cherries, blueberries and raspberries, have gained superfruit status because they contain high levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
