Dunno, so I'm throwing down MIT's google result:

probably half a cup or something, what is considered a server is generally pretty small for most things.

Here comes to much information guy again. The answer would depend on if your eating other fruits and veggies to do your part in the recommended 5 a day routine.

If your eating them fresh/frozen, then a 1/2 cup is where you would be (1 cup don't hurt).
If your going for the dried variety (storage and bang for buck etc.) then about a 1/4 cup is what ya should be taking.
If your drinking it and it is of course 100% pure blueberry juice, 6 ounces would do.

You're in a four door canoe and one of your tires fall off. How many pancakes can you hold?

is it true if they are frozen most of the health benefits are gone?

No not at all. Not only do they use flash freezing at peak of ripeness. They are not cooking them either (which btw helps many veggies). Worse thing freezing does it occasional breaks cell walls via crystallization (greatly reduced by freezing technology). Antioxidants are not harmed by freezing, unless you blanch them first (cooking them). Yet again the idea of all antioxidants are hurt by cooking would then rule out the benefits of tea's. Then if you go in reverse and keep in mind dried ones are even more potent anyways.

I was thinking a similar thing about cooking vegetables. Truth is, nobody really knows what the chemicals in vegetables and fruits that are good for you actually are so my thinking is they are obviously very trace nutrients. Cooking them, microwaving them, or possibly freezing them must alter the nutrient content.

What I'm saying is nobody knows why vegetables are good for you so the actual compounds must be extremely scarce and probably easy to destroy.

Just a thought I've been running through my head.

Eh?
What would make you even begin to think that nobody knows this.

Nobody really does. They know about general compounds like phytonutrients (sp?) or whatever but the exact compounds and what they do is unknown.

Read the nutrition label on the package. It will say what the serving size is, and how many total servings are in the package.

I cant believe nobody else here posted this.
