BLUEBERRIES 


 

 

ABOUT
Blueberries grow on shrubs and have a sweet taste when
mature. They are rich in anthocyanin antioxidants and are
thought to have anti-cancer properties.

GLYCEMIC INDEX
Low, 20-55

BEST SEASON
May-October

PESTICIDE RISK
High (domestic are worse than imported) – buy organic

HOW TO SELECT
Buy organic blueberries to avoid pesticide residue.
Blueberries should be firm and uniformly colored. They
should move freely in the box and show no signs of
moisture, which can cause decay. If buying frozen berries,
they should not have any clumps in the bag, suggesting that
they were thawed and refrozen.

HOW TO STORE
Before storing, remove any berries that have gone bad.
Store berries in the refrigerator where they should keep for a
few days.

HOW TO FREEZE
You can wash blueberries and freeze them in a plastic bag
for later use. Freezing has not been shown to damage the
antioxidant content.

PREPARATION
If fresh, wash right before use.
