How to eat blueberries:

Buy them fresh from Geneva Lakes Produce. Get in the car. Think longingly about those plump, delectable, juicy berries on the front seat beside you. Eat a handful. Eat another handful. When you get home, don’t tell anyone you bought blueberries. Next time, buy more.

Then you’ll have enough to make muffins, pie, cobbler or throw some on your cereal.
Toss some in your lettuce salad – oh, try it! They add a great texture and not-too-sweet interest to the salad…not to mention a nice color.
