Wild Frozen Blueberries

Wild Blueberries are delicious and contain lutein for the eyes. Fill your freezer with delicious frozen-fresh Wild Blueberries. These little blue berries from Maine and Canada have superior antioxidant capacity compared with other fruits and vegetables. They're just as healthy as fresh and may even retain their nutritional value longer.



To get the biggest antioxidant punch from your blueberries, be sure to use Wild Blueberries. With twice the antioxidant capacity of larger cultivated blueberries, the little wild ones freeze perfectly, retaining superior quality, color and a sweet, tangy flavor.



Scientists are excited about the anti-aging benefits of Wild Blueberries, including their potential to:



* Forestall cognitive aging



* Improve motor skills



* Reverse short - term memory loss



* Protect against cancer, heart disease and diabetes

Wild Blueberry Soy Shake

Serves 4

* Fresh mint, for garnish



In blender, combine honey with soy milk. Add frozen Wild Blueberries and puree with a dash of nutmeg. Pour into glasses and add mint leaves.

I add a scoop of Wild Blueberries to my morning large flake oatmeal.



At 74 I seem to have delayed catarac surgery and have 20/20 vision. Oatmeal contains lecithin which is the "drano" of the arteries and is high in fibre.

I purchase Wyman's Frozen Wild Blueberries in a 2 pound resealable bag. Every morning, my wife and I have a bowl of Oatmeal with Wild Blueberries, diced apple and cinnamon. My pets love oatmeal and line up to be fed with a plastic spoon. Leave out berries when serving your pets. Their kidneys do not do well with berries.
