    All About Blueberries - Know Your Produce www.knowyourproduce.com

    Like all berries, blueberries are best to purchase organic. By purchasing organic you ensure you’re less pesticides, plus a higher antioxidant punch. Packed with anti-cancer benefits, vitamin C, maganese, copper, vitamin K and fiber. Blueberries are a great snack for the whole family. Our toddler likes to enjoy them fresh and frozen.

    FUN FACT: Blueberries aren’t blue, they’re a shade of purple.

    WHEN IS BLUEBERRY SEASON You can see plants bearing fruit anywhere from May – September in the North East.

    HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GROW BLUEBERRIES Once a blueberry bush reaches full maturity it will produce that season, but to get to that point it can take 2-3 years.

    HOW TO STORE BLUEBERRIES We suggest only purchasing blueberries when you’ll be consuming them within 1-2 days.

    HOW TO CHOOSE BLUEBERRIES Pick blueberries that have no signs of mold or shriveling. An even blue/purple coloring without much pink, white or green.

    CAN YOU FREEZE BLUEBERRIES Absolutely! You can even purchase organic and already frozen blueberries for much less than fresh, as is true for all berries. They freeze extremely well. Follow our tutorial on how to freeze strawberries.

    HOW TO USE BLUEBERRIES There’s so many ways to enjoy blueberries. They can be enjoy on their own as a snack, in desserts or even with your dinner. Below are some excellent recipes using blueberries.

    Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowl with Blueberries and Pumpkin Seeds is I consider a healthy breakfast. The tangy greek yogurt, the sweet blueberries, nutty pumpkin seeds with a hint of salt equal the perfect combination for a breakfast bowl. Also has chia seeds and ground flaxseed for added omega 3s!
