Blueberries. Small in size. Big in flavor.
They are delicious, beautiful, healthy, simple, and versatile. They are often eaten fresh, but may also be enjoyed frozen, dried, powdered, and pureed. They can be used in a variety of baked goods, jams, jellies, as well as savory dishes.
Blueberries are often referred to as a superfood, they are an excellent source of several vitamins and minerals. They are packed with phytonutrients called polyphenols. This group includes anthocyanins, which are compounds that give blueberries their blue color. These anthocyanins are also known to have antioxidant effects.

You may sprinkle them to your favorite recipes for that added healthful boost and enhanced flavor like this Blueberry Belgian Waffle that we just had for breakfast.

Frozen blueberries from the U.S. are available year-round. They are frozen straight from the farm, with all the good stuff locked in - nutrients, freshness, and flavor. They’re a healthy shortcut, whether you’re grabbing a quick snack, packing lunches, or cooking up a storm.
