SuperBlues Blueberries Now At Trader Joe’s

Summer arrived for me at Trader Joe’s today in the form of SuperBlues blueberries

I can remember picking blueberries as a child at my Grandmother’s house in Massachusetts. She had rather a lot of bushes and I remember them as being very tall as a child (I would love to go see them now!).

Anyway in the mornings, we would get up, get dressed and practically race into the kitchen to get handed a coffee cup. This was our morning “blueberry pail” and we would take our cup out for a morning adventure of collecting blueberries right from the bushes.

We would hunt around in those bushes for the biggest blueberries that we could find and leave those smaller ones to pick in the next day or so. When we returned to the house, we would rinse them off and use them on top of our cornflakes. Then my brother and I would have a contest to see who had picked the biggest blueberries.

Well, I was a kid again last week when we were shopping at Trader Joe’s. There at the sample counter (of course) were the biggest blueberries I have seen in a long time. The package said SuperBlues and that was an excellent description.

These blueberries were HUGE (I am not sure if you can tell in the photo, but some were as big around as a nickel!) and full of flavor. Trader Joe’s sampled the SuperBlues with some vanilla yogurt- simple and delicious.

We served them up at home on our oatmeal for breakfast. Boy they really took me back to picking and eating blueberries at my Grandmother’s house (although I was missing the cornflakes!).

So if you see these SuperBlues at your Trader Joe’s store, pick up a packages and enjoy a taste of summer.
