This bite-sized snack is packed with nature’s superfood: British Columbia blueberries. Frozen B.C. blueberries have the same nutritional benefits as fresh blueberries, and are available in the freezer aisle year-round. Just look for the “B.C.-grown” label or “packaged in B.C.” wording to ensure your frozen blueberries are from the province.
