Shopping Tip
-
Look for ones even in size, smooth, that's deep purple.
-
Choose dry, plump and firm blueberries.
-
If the color is reddish I would skip those since this means they are not fully ripe.
-
Shake the container. If the berries do not move there might be ones that are moldy.
-
Buy wild blueberries if you can. They are richer in phytonutrients.
