What to Look For
• Blueberries have a characteristic silver-white frost or "bloom."
• They should appear round and firm, without dents or wrinkles.
• Ripe berries have a uniform blue color.
• Packages should be free of crushed or bruised berries.
Storage and Handling
• Do not wash until immediately before consumption.
• Under ideal conditions, blueberries can keep for 5-7 days in home refrigerators.
• Refrigerate at 34° F — 36° F until display.
• Protect from freezing.
Serving Suggestions
• Best served fresh alone or with sweet cream.
• They make hot and cold cereals especially delicious and nutritious.
• Great in green salads with blue or goat cheese.
• Delicious in yogurt and smoothies.
• Blueberries are unbeatable in muffins and pancakes.
Nutritional Highlights
• Blueberries are high in antioxidants, which are shown to help fight aging and cancer.
• They offer 15% of the RDA for Vitamin C.
• A good source of fiber, with 5 grams, or 20% of the RDA, per 1 cup serving.
• Non-fat, sodium-free and low in calories.
• Provide the blue/purple requirement for "5 a Day the Color Way."
