A dose of antioxidants. Blueberries growing in the wild

Indulge in the sweet, tangy flavours of this beloved fruit! Blueberries have been around for over 13,000 years in the wild. However, they weren't commercially farmed until the early 20th century, when Elizabeth Coleman White, an agricultural specialist, and Frederick Coville, a botanist, collaboratively bred the first domesticated variety in New Jersey.

Nova Scotia recognises the wild blueberry as its official provincial berry, and the town of Oxford in Nova Scotia is known as the Wild Blueberry Capital of Canada. Blueberries are North America's second-most popular berry, after strawberries. That's because they're not just delicious; they're fibre-rich and packed with antioxidants and vitamin C. So, toss them in your smoothies, sprinkle over oatmeal or savour them fresh and flaunt your blue-stained smile!
