National Blueberry Month starts on July 1 and I can't wait to fix all the blueberry things! Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and lots of potassium. They can help lower your risk of heart disease and are also anti-inflammatory. According to ncagr.gov, 75% of blueberries grown in North Carolina are sold fresh, while the other 25% is frozen. Stop at any of your local tailgate markets or produce stands to find a basket full of blueberries waiting for you. Here's a recipe just in time for the 4th.
