“…Along with V. meridionale, this plant is considered a "superfruit" because of the high antioxidant capacity of fruits and their potential health benefits (Pérez et al, 2021;Cerrato et al, 2022;Utus-Ramíres et al, 2023). According to Caranqui-Aldaz et al (2022a), the principal bioactive components of its fruits are hydroxycinnamic acids (5-O-caffeoylquinic acid), flavonols (quercetin 3-hexoside, quercetin 5-hexoside, quercetin 3-pentoside, and quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside), and anthocyanins.…”

“…Mature fruits were shown to possess high levels of antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid of 9.0 mg/100 g FW, total phenolics of 882 mg gallic acid equivalent/100 mg FW, and antioxidant activity ABTS of 47.9 μmol Trolox equivalent/g FW (Vasco et al, 2009). Consequently, beverages prepared from V. floribundum fruits have high contents of phenolic compounds, including anthocyanins, and, therefore, have nutraceutical properties (Utus-Ramíres et al, 2023). The fruits could be a good source of micronutrients for human nutrition, especially Fe and Mn (Caranqui-Aldaz et al, 2022a).…”

The Andean Region of Colombia has a large variety of species with diverse ethnobotanical uses, including industrial, medicinal and food uses. Among these plants are several wild species from the genus Vaccinium, which are native to the mountainous regions of the country. This review deals with potential uses for agraz (V. meridionale) and agracejo (V. floribundum) in Colombia, focusing on the nutritional potential of these plants and their importance for food security in terms of products made from their fruits and leaves. In addition, this review looks at possible negative effects from anthropic activities and climate change on wild plants from the genus Vaccinium.
