Did you know blueberries have been linked to health benefits including a reduced risk of cancer, increased insulin response, a reversal in age-related memory loss, and lowering blood pressure. In addition, the silvery sheen found on the skin of blueberries is a naturally occurring compound that helps protect the fruit. This why you should only wash blueberries right before you\u2019re going to eat them. The berries should be stored in the refrigerator and will keep fresh for up to 10 days,\u00a0according to the BC Blueberry Council. Our crop is ripe for the picking in July. Enjoy these delicious recipes for one of our favorite crops. See you on the farm.<\/p>\n
