I grew up around them all of my life. Summers in my grandma's garden picking strawberries, raspberries, and red currants. Helping make jams, jellies and tasty desserts. Going blueberry picking with my friend Catherine and coming home with nothing because we ate them all!
The best part was when I got older and started paying more attention to a healthy diet. I was so happy to discover that the little fruits I loved were recognized by dietitians for their nutritional quality, healthy fiber, and other health benefits!
I love berries, and I created this website specifically to share with you many ways to enjoy them.
