We love blueberries around here. I use them in anything from topping yogurt, cereal or granola with them to adding them to smoothies or baking them into pies and muffins. While searching for some new blueberry recipes, I came across some interesting and fun facts about this round little berry and thought you might enjoy them as well.

• Blueberries are the second most popular berry in the US. Strawberries by the way are the most popular.
• North America produces 90% of the worlds blueberries (2005).
• One serving of blueberries has more of the antioxidant power you need to fight aging, cancer and heart disease making them a true super food.

Fresh blueberries are obviously best, but they also tend to freeze well, so it’s easy to incorporate them in your diet year around. Grab some this week and bake up some blueberry muffins, or top your pancakes or cereal with them. Yummy!!!
