Wild and blue and good for you too! Wild Maine blueberries are a good source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, and other essential vitamins and minerals. According to U.S. Department of Agriculture research, blueberries ranked # 1 in antioxidant powers among the 40 fruits and vegetables tested. So enjoy! Another piece of blueberry pie may be just what the doctor ordered.

PREPARATION TIPS
Selection
Berries should be deep, purple-blue to blue-black and have a dusty bloom. Reddish berries are not ripe, but may be used in cooking.
Storage
Handle blueberries with care. Do not wash berries before storing. Washing removes the protective outer layer that helps preserve flavor and nutrients. Cover loosely with wax paper to allow air circulation and refrigerate up to 7 to 10 days. Avoid air tight containers.
Freezing
Use frozen blueberries exactly like fresh in recipes. Do not wash berries before freezing and do not defrost unless the recipe specifies so.
Preparation
Wash blueberries gently before using. To wash, place in a strainer and use a gentle spray of cool water. Remove stems after washing so no water soaks into the berry itself. Allow the berries to dry completely on a paper towel or in a strainer before serving or using in a recipe.
