How people cook with it
Blueberries are a delightful addition to both sweet and savory recipes. They can be used whole or mashed, depending on the desired texture and flavor.

- Mixed into pancake batter
- Baked into muffins
- Blended into smoothies
Before using, gently rinse the blueberries under cool water and pat them dry. They can be added directly to baked goods like pies, tarts, or scones. For a quick snack, enjoy them fresh by the handful. They also blend beautifully into smoothies, adding a vibrant color and natural sweetness. When cooking, they can be simmered into sauces or compotes, often paired with other fruits or spices. Their natural sugars caramelize slightly when heated, enhancing their flavor.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining blueberries fresh, store them unwashed in their original container or a breathable container in the refrigerator. Avoid washing until just before use, as moisture can encourage spoilage. Check them periodically and remove any that show signs of mold.
