About Blueberries
Blueberries have been known to lower blood sugar levels and offer small amounts of vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin E and also work as potent anti-oxidants. This tasty, seasonal fruit can be frozen and enjoyed when not in season. Blueberries are great in salads, smoothies, and baked goods.
