Berries stand out as the tastiest and most nutritious fruits of all. If I was stranded on a desert island and could pick only one food to sustain me, it would be blueberries. I recently attended a family reunion at my aunt’s acreage and was in berry heaven. She grows rows of blueberries,
raspberries, and strawberries, along with several patches of tayberries (cross between raspberries and blackberries), blackberries, and haskap berries (long dark blue berries – similar in flavor to blueberries). As a small child, I have fond memories of spending summers picking wild blueberries in Northern Ontario and eating them with every meal and most snacks! If you too are wild about berries, I think you will enjoy this piece.
