Hey Borzaya..my dogs love them as well and will even pick them right from the plant along the back fence and eat them.

Just as a side note, not only do I love fresh blueberries, but my dogs go nuts over them. Sometimes I just toss them in the air and we have a catch game, or I'll add them to the top of their food!

The countryside at this time of year around where I reside here in Scotland is laden with wild organic soft fruits and blueberries by the host. Th goodlady picks the local wild fruits, especially the blueberries that grow in abundance, when she makes jams, jellies, and compote (nearly said compost), and we regularly have fresh mixed fruits with layers of fresh cream; all very enjoyable and tasty. Sadly, most local residents seem ignorant of their benefits or are too lazy to pick, clean, and prepare the fruit, prefering to buy from the supermarkets. When we are seen picking the blueberries often people will enquiry about what we are doing and show surprise that those little blueberries are actually healthy fruit; their ignorance is astounding.

You're right JoyWahm. Blueberries contain a seven part molecule called inulin, which help to stabilise blood glucose levels. So enjoy your organic berries :)))

Unfortunately, Blueberries do not seem to grow wild in the UK,....But.....Blackberries are now in plentiful supply on roadside verges, along the hedgerows, in thickets all over UK - I read that these lovely berries are just as effective as Blueberries in cancer prevention - so, people, get out there and pick them - you can freeze them, make jam with them, stew them (without sugar or sweeteners! eat them raw - so have a feast.

This story states that " Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. It has been linked to a high intake of saturated fats "
So why then has colon cancer not been an issue for the last several thousand years?

Blueberries in their natural state are delicious. But are the fats talked about truly saturated or are they transfats?

I'm HIGHLY suspect of these pronouncement conclusions by the United State Department of Agribusiness who's mission is to promote the blueberry council's selling agenda, just like the corn growers with HFCS.

Beware the USDA bearing any news.

Absolutly blueberries are effective. I get my organic blueberries from organic stoneyfield yogurt. Raspberries also have been very effictive according to some research I have read. An effective cancer fighting agent.
