I’m skipping a clever title for this straightforward food. No cooking necessary. Store in the refrigerator. Lightly wash just before eating. Look for firm, unwrinkled berries with no sign of mold (if you are buying them in clear box look at the underside). Eat them straight up, on cereal or throw some in a fruit salad or pancake batter.
Don’t even pay attention to the fact that you are consuming a terrific source of vitamin C and potassium. Fiber too. (Bonus points for those who care)
Brooklyn is currently experiencing a heat wave. This is the best possible time to non-cook. I think I’ll start with a handful of berries. The models for this picture are already history!
If you want to know more, here's the Wiki link to Blueberries
Don't forget the little teeney ones (from Maine, aka low-bush, wild...) are the best - sweet and flavorful. They freeze well - makes for great pancakes in both July and January!
ReplyDeleteHi Lindsay, Wild and tiny! Sounds good to me! This year I planted wild tiny strawberries and they have a wonderfully concentrated flavor. What can't be beat are Berry events in Maine.
