Bad Blueberry Buzz

Blueberries have now made the "Dirty Dozen" list -- the list of fruits and vegetables that are so contaminated by pesticides that the Environmental Working Group recommends you only buy them organic. Really unfortunate.

The good news is that frozen blueberries have only half the insecticides found on fresh blueberries. Furthermore, frozen blueberries deliver a much higher number of proanthocyanidins than the fresh variety. So even though frozen blueberries don't have that same juicy zing, they are nevertheless a delicious and nutritious alternative.
