DID YOU KNOW?

The early American Indians valued the wild blueberies. They called them "star berries" because at the blossom end of ech berry, the calyx forms a perfect five-pointed star. Their legends tell of a time when  children were dying of hunger during a famine and the Great Spirit sent "star berries" to feed them.

During the summer blueberries ripen from June through August depending on the variety. Take advantage of this delicious berry by freezing some for the winter. Pulling out summer blueberries in the  winter to make muffins, pancakes, waffles or pie is a real treat.

 

 

The Cancer Research Society has rated blueberries number one in fruits and vegetables that contain cancer-fighting antioxidants which may lower your risk of developing the  disease.

 

For centuries, people have enjoyed blueberries for their flavor and color. In a new research study, animals fed a blueberry extract
diet, rich in naturally-derived antioxidants, showed fewer age-related motor changes and outperformed their study counterparts on
memory tests. Indeed, blueberries and other foods containing antioxidants may act to protect the body against damage from
oxidative stress, one of several biological processes implicated in aging and in the development of a number of neurodegenerative
diseases. The National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture funded the
study.
