These beauties pack a lot into such a small package. Often called a superfood, they are loaded with all the good stuff, including fibre, vitamins C and K, and magnesium. They are high in disease-fighting antioxidants and blissfully low in calories. They are also made up of a whopping 85 percent water, which makes them particularly refreshing in the warmer months.
Start your day with a handful scattered over your muesli or granola, add to a smoothie for breakfast on the go or indulge in some blueberry pancakes. Blueberries are also perfect with fresh WA cream or ice-cream, but if you want to impress some guests, we suggest taking dessert up a notch with this blueberry and almond tart.
We’re blessed with local producers from the Perth area all the way to the Great Southern. Keep an eye for Buy West Eat Best members such as Berry Sweet, Smart Berries and Yanchep Springs and stock up the fridge (and pop some in the freezer for those smoothies). If you find yourself with a few punnets too many, make some jam for presents.
