If and when you’re out grocery shopping this weekend, consider picking up a pack of US Highbush Blueberries. Not only are they a good source of fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese, they’re also very versatile for your meal preparations. Available all-year round in frozen and dried forms, you can enjoy them with oats and cereal, incorporate them into smoothies and desserts, or eat them as a healthy snack on their own.

Dried American blueberries have a long shelf-life, whereas frozen ones have a lifespan of up to 10 months in the freezer without compromising any of their nutrients or flavour. Besides ingesting them, the blueberries are also popular for DIY beauty routines as they are high in antioxidants.
