Blueberries
31 Jan 2009
In the mild November we experienced in 2007, I shared a bit about to an interesting Blueberry store, including a picture, on my Happy Nutritionist’s Nuggets blog…there was hardly a thing in the store that wasn’t in some way related to Blueberries.
Maine is one of the best places to pick blueberries in MHO, they are delicious! During visits in the summer, I’ve picked large bags full of berries that we’ve enjoyed around our campfire (we did a lot of camping in Maine when the children were growing up) and brought home to pop in the freezer. They lasted a long time.
We also have many bushes in our woods and 2 or 3 on our property. Before the bears became so prolific in the area, I spent a lot of time berry-picking in our woods alone, I’m a little hesitant to do that now. They love the berries, too.
Blueberries are full of antioxidants, especially in the skin, so I do chew them well when eating them. If I can’t harvest them, I buy them frozen and eat them mixed in yogurt with my herbal sweetener, Stevia, with just a very little bit of vanilla extract, all stirred together in a bowl as an evening snack. Delicious!

I have never seen blueberries growing. I love to eat them. I think I’ll go have a hand full right now! Antioxidants never tasted better.

Hi Pam,
I didn’t know there were places that Blueberries didn’t grow! I first learned to love them as a very little child picking them in the woods at my grandparents home in New England, then discovered them in my own yard when we moved here and our woodlands. I do buy them most of the time now, though, frozen…in fact, as I type this, I’ve just finished my favorite yogurt and blueberry dish.
Thanks for visiting!
