Bursting with flavor, fresh blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries are a joy to eat, especially straight from the berry patch in summertime. Berries are packed with antioxidants that have been linked to stalling the aging process, protecting the heart and circulatory system and preventing mental decline. Toss berries in your morning yogurt, bake some into a pie or tart, experiment with savory recipes, or merely eat them on the go. Get better acquainted with some of nature’s most delicious treats with these healthy berry recipes!
Berries not in season? Buy them frozen. Fruits and vegetables chosen for freezing tend to be processed at their peak ripeness, a time when—as a general rule—they are most nutrient-packed.
