{Our 2012 ANTIOXIDANT SUPERFRUIT Yield}

Regardless of the hot and dry summer in 2011, we did have some 2012 ANTIOXIDANT SUPERFRUIT Yield! Look here... 
I took these photos on June 26 but lost them... Only now I found  the file and like to show you.
Did you know about the blueberries Vaccinium corymbosum having ANTIOXIDANT SUPERFRUIT conditions? If you cannot grow your own, by all means: BUY THEM! They are so healthy.
Below this post you find two more links where you find a lot more info. The last link is showing a nice way of serving them in pretty china with antique Christofle silver.
Ours got a wash and were eaten with Trader Joe's Greek style non fat yogurt.

Did any of you harvest their own blueberries?

    Oh to have fresh blueberries from one's own garden! Perfect way to start the day...mid day snack anytime!! We purchase ours from the local market and at farmers markets in summer. You are absolutely correct my friend they are great with Greek Yogurt. xo hugs and blessings to you both C. (HHL)

    Oh my goodness, I'll bring cake and you give me 2 lbs. of those gorgeous blueberries from your own garden! I can have them with yogurt and walnuts, or with ice cream, lol! OK, this is what I did with the egg cloche: I held the cloche up side down and filled it up with the various eggs..later I held it up side down, very carefully again and started to take the eggs out of it with a little help from hubby, lol..

    Blueberries are little jewels, aren't they? And how pretty they look in your beautiful china with your lovely silver pieces viewed in your link. I try to eat blueberries several times a week in cereal, muffins and plain with vanilla yogurt. Mmmm. I have some bushes that I planted last year. Not too much fruit just yet, but maybe next year. Enjoy your blueberries! xx

    Dear Mariette,

    I am aware of the health benefits of blueberries and although I do not have any growing, I always buy them when I see them at the greengrocers.
    You are lucky having them growing.
    Yes with yoghurt and allbran for breakfast or in muffins or just to eat.

    Hope you are having a lovely weekend
    Hugs
    Carolyn

    Dear Mariette, You're photos are wonderful, so glad you found them and could share with us. Like you, I love blueberries. I usually eat a large tub of blueberry yoghurt each week. So good, so tasty, so healthy! Hope you're have a good week. Love, Kerrie

    Oh gosh! Those blueberries look so plump and yummy. Delicious! We can't get fresh blueberries here. If we do, they bring them from Holland and charge about $10 for a very small container. I always have frozen ones in the freezer to throw into my cereal, oatmeal or muffins. But went the store today and forgot to buy more. Will have to go back very soon. Have a great day. Tammy

    I love blueberries! And Saskatoonberries and strawberries and raspberries... I bought some Prairie Berrie tea at David's tea the other day. It is fantastic ~ and so good for you.

    Oh yes, your blueberries would taste very good with yogurt! Yum! Very healthy indeed.

    Dearest Mariette,
    Oh, this "blueberry" we cannot find much here in Japan. We have product like yogurt and so on, though. So, I am not so much used to the taste; too bad thinking the health benefit "ANTIOXIDANT SUPERFRUIT conditions" like you said(^^;)
    Wonderful harvested well♡♡♡

    Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

    Hoi lieve Mariette,

    Wat heerlijk dat jij deze gezonde bessen in eigen tuin kan plukken.
    Maar zie ik in jou emmer nou bosbessen(Vaccinium myrtillus)?
    of
    blauwe bessen(Vaccinium corymbosum)?
    Ze lijken namelijk op elkaar maar er zijn toch wel grote verschillen.

    Moet eerlijk bekennen dat ik wel liefhebber van blauwe bessen ben maar dan moeten ze wel 'n bereiding ondergaan hebben,gekookt,jam,of in de dikke gistpannekoekjes die niemand lekkerder kon bakken als mijn lieve schoonmoeder.

    Ook al hebben wij geen blauwe of bosbessen in eigen tuin.....plukken en heerlijke confiture maken deden we het vorige jaar wel,

    Dearest Mariette
    Blueberries are both tasty and nutritious!
    They grow wild in the forests of Sweden. I like them best with sugar (!) and cold milk.
    Love

    Hi Mariette....blueberries are a large part of our diet. Unfortunately due to the crazy weather our wild bushes did not do very well this year. And then there are deer!
    Thanks so much for visiting my blog and following me. ......*s*
