July is National Blueberry Month!
Of all the fruits, these little gems deserve their own month! A tiny little powerhouse of a fruit, blueberries are full of fiber, antioxidants and have recently been shown to preserve age related memory loss. Also, certain compounds in blueberries can reduce the risk of colon and ovarian cancer. They’re super portable and kids love them too! To pick the best ones, look for berries uniform in color. The larger berries tend to be juicier and sweeter than the smaller more tart ones. Buy them now, at their peak of freshness and if you don’t eat them all… but why wouldn’t you… you can freeze them without worrying that they’ll loose many nutrients.
