I just discovered that blueberries aren't the perfect fruit for everyone.

I was looking up the word punnet because Judyev was talking about a punnet of squash recently.
It sounds like punnet, in the UK, is mostly used like a small basket to hold strawberries or other small fruit. As I checked out more of the page I saw something related to blueberries. Blueberries are high in vitamin K and can block the effects of blood thinners and cholesterol meds.
"You should avoid eating blueberries with dairy (milk, yogurt) as it can block antioxidants, and with certain meds (blood thinners, some blood pressure drugs) due to vitamin K/drug interactions; also, don't pair with high-sugar items to avoid negating benefits, or potentially with bananas in smoothies due to differing digestive needs".
I found this interesting because a lot of yogurt come with blueberries.
It's a good thing blueberries aren't my husband favorite fruit as he's on blood thinners. Me? I love them and eat them plain from a bowl.

I'm sure my husband never got that instruction and maybe it's not well known. He doesn't like them much so that works. I wouldn't be happy if I couldn't eat them.
I can't have grapefruit either with a med I take for a different ailment.

It could also be that if those on the specific meds are that fruit that they'd have to eat a ton and most people don't.

I think overall blueberries are pretty healthy though. My friend is a big fan

For the rest of us humans it's a great choice. But I never knew that it's better that some don't eat them.

They are and they're also one of the best anti-oxidents.
