Blueberries are in full season now. Each one of these tender, delicious fruits yield a bounty of beneficial elements.
Great source of Vitamins C and K. Lots of fibre. Good source of manganese (if you're worried about that). Some potassium. Excellent source of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids (more on this topic in a future blog post).
Don't gorge on these like a bear though; these little guys do contain sugar and have a significant carbohydrate level. Half a cup or a double-handful should suffice for a maximum serving at one time.

Blueberries are a nice treat and make an excellent dessert all by themselves or mixed into low-fat yogurt. For a really nice treat drop a handful of blueberries into a cup; slap in a blob of plain greek yogurt and sprinkle with steel-cut oats. Tasty, filling and nutritious.
