 Know Your Fruits and Veggies™: Blueberries
By Dawn Swidorski, Public Outreach Director
July is National Blueberry Month in the U.S., so it’s only fitting that we focus on one of three native fruits to North America. They grow wild throughout the woods and mountainous regions in the United States and Canada.
Botanists estimate that blueberries have been around for more than 13,000 years. Native American cultures believed that blueberries were given to them by the Great Spirit to preserve them in times of scarcity and called them Star Berries. Read more about blueberries.
