Remember to rinse them before using. that the fruit may be bruised. •Wake up to breakfast with blueberries Say good morning to sunshine and blue skies. When there are blueberries in the fridge or freezer, breakfast is not only the most impor­ tant meal of the day, it can be the most fun. When breakfast is a rush, what's easier than a handful of blueberries? No pitting, peeling or chopping needed. Just a quick rinse and they're ready to go onto hot or cold cereal or stirred into yogurt. On more leisurely mornings, blueberries add their color and flavor to stacks of homemade pancakes or waffles. Here's a tip: Stir up a top­ ping in minutes by heating fresh or frozen blueberries in maple syrup. The USDA's MyPlate recommends that adults 19-30 years eat 2 cups of fruit every day. Blue­ berries first thing in the morning help you get a head start on achieving that goal. A 1-cup serving of fresh or frozen blueberries has 80 calories and provides vitamin C, manganese and fiber. Today, nutrition researchers are pursuing four tracks to better understand the role that blueberries may play in promoting good health —cardiovascular health, insulin response, brain health and cancer risk reduction.
