National Blueberry Day

Celebrate National Blueberry Day by indulging in the sweet, tangy flavors of America's beloved fruit! Blueberries have been around for over 13,000 years in the wild. However, they weren't commercially farmed until the early 20th century, when Elizabeth Coleman White, an agricultural specialist, and Frederick Coville, a botanist, collaboratively bred the first domesticated variety in New Jersey.
The United States is a leading blueberry producer, with bountiful harvests from states including Maine, Michigan, and Oregon. Blueberries are North America's second-most popular berry, after strawberries. That's because they're not just delicious; they're fiber-rich and packed with antioxidants and vitamin C. So, toss them in your smoothies, sprinkle over oatmeal, or savor them fresh and flaunt your blue-stained smile!
