The British blueberry season is now in full swing, and with blueberries thriving due to an excellent growing season, now is the time to head to supermarkets to enjoy them at their very best.

We have recently launched our new Ask the Grower series on Instagram, where we are asking consumers to put their questions about berries to our specialist berry growers around the country. Have a question you’d like an answer to? Email us at britishberrygrowers@redbrickroad.com

Blackberries contain a wide range of nutrients, including vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, potassium and magnesium as well as fibre and other plant nutrients that have numerous health benefits. These include flavonoids, which have powerful anti-inflammatory and immune system benefits. They also give blackberries their deep purple colour.

Eating too much fruit rots your teeth, oranges are the best source of Vitamin C and avoiding fruit in the evening are food ‘facts’ we get totally wrong.

With a little over six weeks till Christmas, it’s maybe time to start planning those festive meals. Have a look at our Christmas recipes for inspiration.

Seasonal Berries (seasonalberries.co.uk),  the campaign to promote fresh berry consumption in the UK, has been renamed to Love Fresh Berries and has a new website at lovefreshberries.co.uk.
