Every couple of weeks I make a few batches of blueberry pancakes.  The store almost always has blueberries and the source varies throughout the year. Maine and Michigan are the best, Florida and Mexico are good, Peru gets us through the winter.

Past couple of weeks, the berries did not look great for the price so, why not try frozen?  I did this morning.

They were a little bigger, the size is very consistent, clean, ready to use. The texture though, not as good as they look.  I guess the freezing breaks down the inner parts and it lacks density.  They would look good in a fruit salad, but lack flavor and texture for eating. Nope, won't use frozen again.

This is the truth! The frozen ones get mushy. I don't like it! Much better to go for a walk in the forest for 30 minutes and pick your own.
