Blueberries

There’s a lot to love about blueberries.

These little guys are tiny bursts of sweet, juicy goodness—and they’ve got some serious health benefits to boot!

Blueberries might be small, but their flavor is anything but. They bring this wonderfully sweet and slightly tart vibe to everything they touch, from salads to sauces, and they’re a perfect match for my botanical hot sauces. The natural sweetness of blueberries does wonders with bold ingredients like peppers and herbs, balancing the heat and adding a fruity freshness that rounds out the flavor. It’s like a little burst of summer sunshine in every bite.

And did I mention they’re great for your health? Packed with antioxidants, blueberries are known to support heart health, boost brain function, and keep your immune system in check. So, when you’re enjoying that sweet-tart pop of blueberry, you’re not just indulging—you’re doing something good for your body, too.

Adding blueberries isn’t just about flavor (though that’s reason enough)—it’s about creating a delicious, nutritious balance that makes every dish just a little more special.

"How do I choose flavors? I really don’t know. I started off with apricot because I like apricots. Then it becomes a game to see what other fruits would work. My wife likes strawberries, so I did some strawberry. It just comes to me."
