Delicious Blueberries…
We’re in the heart of the blueberry season right now — running May to September. Here are some tips I discovered about them:
- Don’t wash fresh blueberries until you’re ready to eat them.
- When doing pancakes or muffins you can add them after poured to keep from turning batter blue.
- Wild blueberries are smaller in size than cultivated ones.
- U.S. and Canada produce 90% of blueberries.
- They contain significant quantities of antibacterial and antiviral compounds.
