Food Town Berries: Small Fruits, Big Benefits

Berries: Small Fruits, Big Benefits
Juicy, sweet, and packed with nutrients — berries are a powerhouse of flavor and health. Whether you’re tossing them in a smoothie or enjoying them by the handful, these vibrant fruits are a smart (and tasty!) addition to your cart.

What Is a Berry?

Botanically speaking, a berry forms from the ovary of a single flower and contains seeds inside. So while strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries wear the “berry” name, they’re actually aggregate fruits, formed from multiple ovaries. Still, they’re all delicious — and we’re not here to split seeds.


Why Berries Belong in Your Basket

Berries are low in calories, high in fiber, and bursting with essential nutrients. They’re particularly rich in antioxidants, which help fight inflammation and protect the body from disease.

One cup of strawberries alone delivers 150% of your daily Vitamin C needs — a true boost for your immune system!
