Ultimate
Blueberry Muffins

Two
muffins contain a half-cup of fruit!
 |
The US Highbush Blueberry Council has
come up with a very blueberry muffin concept, called the Ultimate
Blueberry Muffin, that contains half a cup of fruit per serving
to meet 5-A-Day nutrition requirements. |
Blueberries are literally bursting
out of these muffins. Use this concept as a starter idea.
With all the good news about blueberries
and health, consider highlighting your blueberry products.
Show how they contain bright, bold, beautiful blueberries.
Manufacturers can help to educate consumers about the natural
blue color in the muffins. The message: "We use real
blueberries and not imitations." Look for the natural color
so that you can be assured that the blueberries are real and not
made with imitation bits! After all more is merrier when
it comes to the health potential of these little globes of goodness.
While you're at it, check out the information on the blueberry
real seal. |
Join the real blueberry team! Makes
us wonder whether all the worry about keeping a white crumb in baked
products will eventually go by the wayside when everyone comes to
realize that the natural color from the anthocyanins is really a
good thing to have. |
