Blueberries
I love the summer berries
Blueberries are available fresh, frozen, freeze dried, and in jellies, syrups, and jams.
Be
sure to check the
label of
frozen and dried blueberries for added sugars. When selecting jellies or jams, choose all-fruit spreads
without added
sweeteners, juices, or fillers.
