Berry Nutrition at a Glance
We all know berries are delicious. But did you know they’re also an incredibly nutrient-dense food group? Whether you’re topping your morning porridge, packing a snack for the school run, or simply grabbing a handful on the go, every punnet of Driscoll’s berries is quietly doing wonderful things for your body. Here’s a quick look at some of the best bits packed inside.
Blueberries: At just 57 calories per cup, blueberries are a light snack with a seriously impressive nutritional profile. They’re loaded with antioxidants and are known to support vision, brain health, and general wellbeing. Small but mighty in every sense.
Strawberries: A cup of strawberries comes in at around 50 calories and delivers more vitamin C than an orange. That makes them one of the best natural allies for your immune system, particularly as the cooler months roll in.

The Bigger Picture: What Berries Do for Your Body
The goodness in berries goes well beyond what fits on a nutrition label. Here are a few more reasons to love them.
Skin Health
Berries are quietly brilliant for your skin. The antioxidants found across all four varieties, particularly vitamin C in strawberries and anthocyanins in blackberries, help protect skin cells and support collagen production. Glowing skin from a punnet of berries? We’ll take it.
Blood Sugar Balance
Berries are naturally sweet, but they won’t send your blood sugar on a rollercoaster. They have a relatively low glycaemic index, which means they release energy slowly and steadily. That makes them a great everyday choice for people managing diabetes, or anyone who’d rather skip the mid-morning energy slump.
Immune Support
As the cooler months roll in, a little extra support for your immune system goes a long way. The vitamin C in strawberries, the antioxidants in blueberries, and the anti-inflammatory goodness of blackberries are all quietly working in your favour. A daily handful of Driscoll’s berries is one of the simplest, most delicious habits you can build heading into flu season.
Not bad for something that tastes this good! Whether you’re snacking straight from the punnet, stirring them through your breakfast, or packing them for the day ahead, Driscoll’s berries make it easy to do something wonderful for your body every single day.
