When are blueberries in season?
Blueberry season typically runs from mid-June to late August in most parts of North America, although the exact timing can vary depending on weather and such. In some areas, the fresh fruit season may start as early as May or extend until early September. During this time, blueberries are at their peak ripeness and are available in abundance, making it the perfect time to enjoy fresh, wild blueberries and these desserts are the perfect way to celebrate the season.
How to store fresh blueberries
Storing fresh blueberries properly is key to maintaining their freshness and flavor. The best way to store fresh blueberries is to keep them in the refrigerator. Once you've brought them home, remove any moldy or damaged berries, then rinse the blueberries with cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. You can then transfer them to an airtight container or a ziplock bag and place them in the refrigerator. Blueberries can last up to 10 days in the refrigerator if stored properly. Avoid washing them until you're ready to eat them, as excess moisture can cause them to spoil faster. If you have more blueberries than you can eat before they start to go bad, consider freezing them for later use in smoothies, baked goods, or as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal.
If you can't find fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries are a great option as they are available year-round and still retain their nutritional value and flavor.
Blueberries are a healthy choice
Blueberries are not only delicious but also incredibly nutritious. They are low in calories and high in fiber, making them a great option for weight management and digestive health. Blueberries are also loaded with antioxidants, which help protect your body against free radicals and oxidative stress, reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. They are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese, and have been shown to improve brain function, lower blood pressure, and support healthy blood sugar levels. So when you're digging into these desserts, you're basically making a healthy choice!
