It's blueberry season and where Tightwad lives - south of Vancouver - that means lots of blueberries, in bulk. Did you know that these little powerhouses:
- Are among the highest anti-oxidant
value fruits.
- Contain phyto-chemical compounds that help rid off harmful oxygen-derived free radicals from the body and
thereby protect the human body against cancers, aging, degenerative
diseases, and infections.
- Contain chlorogenic
acid that lowers blood sugar levels and controls
blood-glucose levels in type-II diabetes mellitus condition.
- Contain vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin E
and B-complex along with potassium, manganese, copper, iron and zinc.
Tightwad doesn't do too much fancy stuff with them besides eating them by the mittful, using them for smoothies and to top desserts - but upon closer inspection of these delicious sounding recipes things are going to change around here with what we do with blueberries. Blueberry pavlova, anyone?
