Blueberries can be used fresh, straight from the container. For baking, they are often added directly to batters for muffins, cakes, or scones. When making smoothies, they contribute a vibrant color and a burst of flavor. They can also be lightly cooked down to create a compote or sauce, which pairs well with desserts or even some meats. Rinsing them gently under cool water before use is recommended to remove any dust or debris.
