First off, am I the only one who thinks blueberries aren’t all that…blue? They look pretty purple to me. “Purpleberry” is quite a mouthful, though.
Anyway, strawberries often seem to get all of the press in the summer, but beautiful blueberries are also in season. As the opposite-color cousin of a strawberry, blueberries are tiny little bites that are filled with flavor. Oh yeah, and they’re a superfood. They are chock-full of antioxidants and potassium and also have anti-inflammatory properties.
So why do strawberries get all of the credit?! I vote to bring the blueberry back into the limelight and highlight all of the delicious desserts that we can make with this tart-sweet berry.
