Welcome to Low Carb Luxury Magazine's Special Interest Edition: Berries!

Berries burst with nutrition and fight disease... Besides being low in carbs, low glycemic, and so delicious, berries contain ellagic acid, which may prevent cancer, and blueberries, in particular, may help maintain normal mental function as you age, through the action of anthocyanins found in the fruit.

One serving of strawberries (eight medium berries) contains more vitamin C than one orange! They offer up 20% of your Daily Value for folic acid (proven to reduce birth defects), contain no fat, only 8 grams of net carbs, no cholesterol, and are high in fiber! Plus they're only 45 calories per serving.

One serving of raspberries (1 cup) provides an excellent source of vitamin C, are a high source of fiber, are fat free, and are only 50 calories per serving.

One 1/2 cup serving of Blueberries provides a terrific source of Vitamin C. They're fat-free, cholesterol-free, sodium-free, and only 40 calories per serving!

And a one cup serving of Blackberries provides an excellent source of Vitamin C, a good source of folate, a high source of fiber, a good source of Potassium, Calcium, and Iron. They're low-fat, sodium-free, cholesterol-free and only 60 calories per serving!

We think these facts make berries a perfect subject for our second Special Edition Recipe Collection! So here you are — a special treat for all our loyal Low Carb Luxury subscribers and visitors. These are our favorites of those sent to us and those we developed. Many of the ingredients can be purchased from the NEW Low Carb Luxury Shopping site. We hope you'll visit!
