Detroit, Michigan News Releases

(Detroit.CityRegions.Com, July 25, 2014 ) Taylor, MI -- Despite their miniature size – blueberries are proof that, when it comes to health benefits, good things really do come in small packages. One cup of blueberries is just 80 calories and is an excellent source of Vitamin C. They're also a good source of dietary fiber, which contributes to a healthy heart and helps keep cholesterol in check.
When buying fresh blueberries, look for berries that are firm, dry, plump and smooth-skinned, with a silvery surface bloom and no leaves or stems. Size isn't an indicator of maturity but color is – berries should be deep purple-blue to blue-black.
Reddish blueberries aren't ripe, and won't ripen once they're picked but can be used in cooking. Avoid blueberries that look soft or shriveled or have any signs of mold. If there are juice stains in the container, the fruit might be bruised.
Refrigerate fresh blueberries, either in their original plastic pack or in a covered bowl or container. Wash blueberries just before using, and eat them within 10 days of purchase.
Summer is the best time to try a new recipe because blueberries are so fresh and plentiful. Slick Cups includes two blueberry muffin recipes in its expanded electronic recipe book titled "Make It Home-Made With Slick Cups™- 20 Ways To Use Silicone Baking Cups."
