Blueberries

Blueberries are a small, sweet fruit that are known for their blue-purple color and nutritional benefits. They are high in antioxidants, vitamins C and K, and fiber, making them a healthy addition to any diet. Blueberries can be eaten raw as a snack or in salads, or used in a variety of dishes like pancakes, muffins, and smoothies. When selecting blueberries, look for plump, firm, and smooth berries that are free from mold or mushy spots.
