Tips

• A vibrant blueberry should have a little bounce to it. Shake the box when you buy them, if the berries do not move they may be getting a bit old.
• The nutrients in blueberries are best sustained by keeping them cool, so purchase from a refrigerated section in the market and put them in your own fridge as soon as you get them home.
• Select plump and full blueberries with a light gray-blue color. Blueberries with any hint of red are not fully ripened. Once blueberries are picked, they will not ripen any further.
• To minimize streaking in cake or muffin batter, stir berries in directly from frozen.
