Blueberries

Blueberries are maybe the most agreeable fruit: They travel pretty well, are easy to eat, taste good cooked, and are a dream to preserve for post-season enjoyment. I prefer a tart berry, but even the sweetest blueberries don’t cloy because their relatively thick skins have tannins similar to red grapes or tart cherries. These same compounds are good for cartilage development and joint protection. Blueberries don’t ask a lot and are only a pain when cooked blueberry hits a white tablecloth or shirt, which often splatters and stains. There’s not a whole lot else to say. Blueberries are like the golden retriever of the fruit world; they’re just all-round pleasant company.
