Delicious blueberries are a Canadian favourite for good reason - they're rich in disease-fighting nutrients and are a good source of antioxidants.


(NC) Delicious blueberries are a Canadian favourite for good reason - they're rich in disease-fighting nutrients and are a good source of antioxidants.

Now you can enjoy them even more throughout the year, as Canadian researchers are working on growing and storing them longer outside the normal season. The team at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Kentville Research and Development Centre has developed a storage system to extend the shelf-life of cultivated blueberry crops by as much as eight weeks.

So savour this tasty snack with a fruity twist on a classic breakfast and dessert staple.
