And there are several benefits to eating dried fruit, especially dried blueberries, which can be enjoyed in hot or cold cereal or oatmeal, or in the form of a refreshing smoothie. They don’t contain any cholesterol and are also low in sodium, while at the same time are a source of many of the nutrients our body needs. Vitamin K is abundant in dried blueberries, and is excellent for improving healthy bones and for ensuring proper blood clotting.
