Try popping edible dried blueberries whole and chewing before you swallow, then later after you like it, get creative popping dried blueberries into the mix with other foods.
Eat dried blueberries straight and dry like a snack.
Or to your preferred sweat’n’tart taste and texture, you can rehydrate dried blueberries with pure water for a few minutes - for later mixing into fruit salad, smoothies, breakfast cereals, yogurt bowls, muffins, cheesecakes, and plenty more Da Ba Dee, Da Ba Die.
I always prefer U.S. Grown blueberries grown, dried, and packaged well within my vicinity, but as a Michigander, I sure am lucky.
I buy unsweetened dried blueberries without added sugars, oils, or fillers - whole blueberry pure and simple. Non-GMO blueberries are not genetically modified. Of course, choose berries without artificial flavors and preservatives. Gluten-free dried blueberries support weight or other gluten-related health goals. Certain dried blueberries are especially labeled Kosher to fit into dietary restrictions.
America’s favorite blueberry to eat is the common low-bush blueberry (Vaccinium Angustifolium), a blueberry native to North America and also today’s leading source of commercial blueberry production in North America.
Did you pick it in the forest and sun-bake a batch of berries by yourself? Whether advertised as “Wild” or not, we know the truth that store-bought blueberries are grown for purposes of commercial cultivation. So my opinion is, the “Wild Blueberry” label might not be any different than the most common low-bush blueberry.
