topicBlueberry Cognition Randomized Trial
claimDespite Morocco's emergence as the world's fourth-largest berry exporter, no comprehensive review has evaluated the polyphenol composition, antioxidant properties, and health benefits of raspberries ( Rubus idaeus ), blackberries ( Rubus fruticosus ), and blueberries ( Vaccinium corymbosum ) specifically within the Moroccan cultivation context.
