Blueberries ...
- Are Very Healthy For You. In one cup of blueberries, there is only 80 calories, zero fat and only 14 grams of carbohydrates. There's also 15 percent of the daily recommend Vitamin C in one cup of blueberries.
- Are high in antioxidants, which help fight cancer.
- Are best stored unwashed. Washing causes them to decay faster.
- Should always be kept cool. They'll last 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator.
- Can also be frozen. Place the unwashed berries on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Place it in the freezer. Once berries are frozen, which takes about 2 hours, store them in an airtight freezer bag.
