Fake Blueberries‏

[JMCsGirl]

It doesn't surprise me. I LOVE Jiffy Blueberry Muffins but all you have to do is take one look at their little blueberry pellets to know there is really no blueberries in that. And the Pop Tarts didn't surprise me either, I mean who really thinks there are fruit in those sugar pucks? I am not a big fan of pop tarts.

As someone with food allergies, I ALWAYS read ingredient labels before consuming anything. I love blueberries, just the real thing or me, thanks!

This really surprised me. I've never heard of fake blueberries. We live where the berries are abundant and the stores and restaurants buy them fresh from pickers and freeze them. If someone has a strong back and can spend hours in the bush they can make $50/ for a 6 litre basket out here. I would freeze some and also make preserves for the winter months. Some of my friends picked to sell them.

I read the ingredients on anything I put in my mouth. Rarely do I ever get processed food.

If you think this is bad, you REALLY don't want to research Chicken McNuggets! *shudder*

One of these summers we'll have to get you out here to do some blueberry pickin'. The kids and I just went to Castle Berries right down the road from my house and picked about 10 pounds of blueberries. Mmmmmmm.
