Blueberries abound at the Dallas Farmers Market this weekend! There’s no sweeter treat than a handful of fresh blueberries. With the North Texas harvest season in full swing, it’s time to stock up on bountiful produce including these juicy berries! Farm fresh produce makes it easy to “eat the rainbow” for plenty of vitamins and nutrients in every meal. According to the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council, blueberries are a powerhouse of Vitamin C and K, manganese, and potassium. We love a treat that is just as healthy as it is delicious! Pop a few of these beauties on your morning oatmeal, in a smoothie, or enjoy as an on-the-go snack.
While most blueberry recipes are on the sweet side, there are a few more savory options to include blueberries at the dinner table! Cucumber blueberry salad is a flavorful and nutrition-filled lunch or dinner option that can be bulked up with the addition of free-range chicken from Hendrix Family Farm. If you’re thinking of a heartier dinner, then you just can’t beat a Blueberry BBQ glaze on pork from 413 Farms. Let your creativity run wild this summer to incorporate fresh seasonal produce into every plate!
