Vee,

The blueberries were traditionally used as a cooked soup in Sweden based on

traditional folklore, which was found to be effective. I believe the

significance of the " dried " is that it is easier to eat more of them, because

they have

far less volume and weight. So 10g without all the water weight is probably

a hefty load of blueberries.

I don't think fresh or pureed would affect the operative factors.

By the way, I had no problem kefiring purreed blueberries, so I don't think

they necessarily hurt good flora.

They're local. I emailed my friend who got them for me a week or two ago,

but haven't gotten a resposne. I think their computer might be down. I'll have

to give them a call soon.
