Many of these dried berries like blueberries and grapes are considered to be superfoods as they are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin K, iron, potassium, and soluble dietary fibers. Dried berries are often consumed as nutritional supplements and are also used in personal care products, to treat various hair and skin related problems including aging, acne, and hair thinning among others. For instance, acai berries are rich in zinc which helps strengthen hair and they also have anti-inflammatory properties that help treat acne infection.
