Guest guest Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 I purchase frozen strawberries and blueberries at the local Wal-Mart. The quality appears to be excellent. A much better value than the "fresh" fruit, which isn't always available. JR -----Original Message-----From: Tim Tyler <tt2333@...> [mailto:tt2333@...]Sent: Saturday, December 07, 2002 3:41 PM Subject: [ ] BlueberriesI came across a LEF article recently that bears on the questionof whether frozen blueberries are worthwhile.The LEF has a reputation for directing attention away from CR and towards the pills they sell - so I was pleasantly suprised by thetitle of the article: "Eat Less - But Do Eat Lots of Blueberries".The blueberry anthocyanin material is relegated to page three - where it concludes:``Considering the high cost of blueberries, I asked a couple of chemists if frozen blueberries, or frozen berries in general, have the ability to provide benefits similar to those of fresh berries. The chemists agreed that frozen berries should still provide considerable benefits.''Blueberries are out of season here - and the best source I have found is some 30% frozen blueberries, mixed with blackberry and apple.I rather doubt eating frozen fruit could ever be described as "optimal" - but until local food distribution networksimprove - frozen foods may provide practical, convenient andinexpensive food that is still of good nutritional value.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 We buy frozen blueberries regularly at Winco, occasionally at Trader Joes, both in the Portland, Oregon area. During the peak season we pick 40 to 60 pounds of wonderful blueberries at one of the local organic farms. We freeze them. Otherwise we 'd have to gorge for a few weeks, then go without the rest of the year.

I have to admit I bought some fresh blueberries just today. It does make me feel absurdly spoiled to be able eat blueberries out of season - imported from heaven knows where - and overpriced. It can't be ecologically sane. But the taste of fresh fruit is of course far better so I make the excuse " but it's healthy .... " and make my purchase.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 Agreed on fresh blueberries and all fresh fruit out of season. I made a 10 fruit fruit salad for thanksgiving which was my " naughty " treat instead of the typical T-day trappings. I feel better having a treat that is costly yet beneficial than cheap and plentiful.

I got into a discussion about this with an " environmentally- friendly " lady recently. She recommended I consider eating foodstuffs that were in season locally - and eat fresh - partly on the grounds that that was what was natural. I said that I was generally prepared to eat imported food - and frozen food - in order to gain access to foodstuffs that were out of season at the time, primarily in order to gain access to their nutrients. I do see (at least) one associated hazzard with imported food - it may be more likely that chemical measures have been taken to give the food a long shelf life. Having said that, I think this year has been the best one in living memory for all-year-round availability of berries - at least for those who can afford them. I look forward to further improvements, as we get better at carting plants around the planet, providing artificial seasons for them - and fooling with their metabolisms using drugs and genetic engineering. Oops - scratch that last bit ;-) Incidentally - to those recommending sources of frozen blueberries to me - please bear in mind that I live in the United Kingdom.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I have heard people use mora for all types of little berries that are not strawberries, which of course are fresa. But I think it makes a lot of sense that if one does not grow up with all these various types of berries that all these various types of berries can be classified as either mora or " bluberi " or " rasberi " or whatever they are hired to pick....

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Re: Blueberries- here in Yucatan, the imported products are labeled "mora." Sometimes they are called "arandano"- BUT, this latter is more often applied to cranberries. Neither of these fruits exist here, so it is most likely that people will not have a common name for them.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I have not written before but here are my " two centavos " on this subject. El arándano, arándano azul, mora azul o blueberry, (Vaccinium corymbosum) es una planta del género Vaccinium, que también incluye muchos arbustos silvestres productores de bayas comestibles redondas y con vértices brillantes. No debe confundirse por el arándano rojo ([[Vaccinium macrocarpon]]). Los frutos, que nacen en racimos, son blancos al principio y a medida que van madurando se tornan rojizo-purpúreos para convertirse en azules cuando están completamente maduros. Por su dulce sabor se utilizan para elaborar jaleas, mermeladas, vinos, pasteles y diversos platos dulces. Esta especie es originaria de Estados Unidos, que también es el mayor productor y consumidor de arándanos azules en el mundo. Los frutos de las plantas silvestres, más pequeños y caros que los de las cultivadas, son apreciados por su sabor y color intenso. El principal productor de arándanos azules es Estados Unidos.
