My pick is blueberries, which are the highlight of the berry category this week. At the moment they are beautifully sweet and crunchy. They are coming from Coffs Harbour in Northern NSW, where they have had the perfect growing conditions resulting in a fantastic product. It is definitely worthwhile to consider the premium blueberry line this week, they are just sensational.
HOW TO PICK
Select firm, plump berries that have a natural, light blue-silver blush on the skin (this blush is a natural protective wax coating) and avoid excessively soft or withered berries.
HOW TO STORE
Store in the fridge. Don't wash berries until right before eating as washing will remove the bloom that protects the berries' skin from degradation.
