Blueberries:

Blueberries, purple grapes, and other fresh or frozen fruits contain antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins. Blueberries are exceptionally beneficial for good health. Berries which have been cooked must be eaten right away or they lose their potency.

Cascadian Farm, in Rockport, Washington, distributes frozen, organically grown blueberries.
The North American Blueberry Council has links to research reports on the health benefits of blueberries.
The Wild Blueberry Association of North America of Bar Harbor, Maine, is an international trade association of growers and processors of wild blueberries from Maine and Canada.

Oranges and Tangerines:

"Flavonoids in tangerine and orange juices have been found to inhibit cancer cell proliferation in human prostate, lung, melanoma, and colon cancer cell lines... Overall, the most active of the 22 flavonoids studied was tangeretin from tangerine juice, said Dr. Najla Guthrie, biochemist andpresident of KGK Synergize, Inc., a medical research and development firm in London, Ontario, Canada."
