Production: For such small berries, blueberries have plenty of history! In the early 1900s, nobody thought blueberries could be domesticated. However, countering public opinion, Elizabeth White, the daughter of a New Jersey farmer, was determined to grow a flourishing industry for cultivated blueberries. In 1911, she teamed up with USDA botanist Frederick Coville to identify wild plants with the most desirable properties, crossbreed the bushes and create vibrant new blueberry varieties. Coville and White harvested and sold the first commercial crop of blueberries out of Whitesbog, N.J., in 1916. In 1932, White was awarded by the state of New Jersey for “outstanding contributions to agriculture”. By the 1990s, researchers were beginning to understand the incredible benefits of eating blueberries, and by the early 2000s, they were considered a staple of a healthy lifestyle.
Qualities: Blueberries contain an incredibly high amount of antioxidants along with Vitamin C and dietary fiber. They also contain anthocyanins, a potent free phytochemical that has been known to fight free radicals, thus improving cardiovascular health. The antioxidants in blueberries also neutralize free-radicals that cause oxidative DNA damage.
Common Use: Like fresh blueberries, dried blueberries are easily incorporated into everyday diets, from breakfast foods (waffles, pancakes, granola, cereal) to toppings on salads and in trail mixes.
Below is a delicious recipe for a wild rice salad, incorporating blueberries!

½ cup long-grain brown rice
pinch of salt
½ cup wild rice
¼ cup almonds
1 ear of corn, kernels cut from the cob
¼ cup dried blueberries
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Freshly ground black pepper

Combine brown rice and 1 cup water in a small saucepan; season lightly with salt. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, cover, and cook until water is absorbed and rice is tender, 45–50 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes, then spread out on a large rimmed baking sheet and let cool.Cook wild rice in another small saucepan of boiling lightly salted water until tender, 35–45 minutes. Drain and spread out next to brown rice; let cool.Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing halfway through, until golden brown, 8–10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.Toss both kinds of rice, almonds, corn, blueberries, onion, and parsley in a medium bowl to combine. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container.

ORGANIC WILD BLUEBERRIES, apple juice sweetened

We LOVE these dried blueberries! They are freshly dried and not rock hard like some that are available in the market. We use them in our own home made granola made with Organic Matters thick rolled organic oats., plus their organic dusted ginger and their Maple Syrup. YUM!

So good!

I love these organic wild blueberries, I add them to my oatmeal and Red River cereal and they are packed with flavor. They are also great in salads and muffins.
