We keep our eyes peeled for the freshest, most in-season vegetables and the best deals on store shelves. And we do it for you, in the name of making everyday eating unicorn-sighting-exciting. (At least, we try.) Here’s what to buy, and the very best ways to eat it—now!
They’re pinkie nail-sized blue orbs. They’re at once sweet and earthy. Their flesh is plum-colored, and they bleed a deep magenta.
They’re blueberries, and they’re in season now.

Really, this is all you need when your blueberries are as perfect as they are now. In this recipe, classic berries and cream gets a little next-level treatment with sour cream and maple syrup.
These are called “Double” Blueberry Muffins because the little blue fruits get blitzed into the butter and also folded whole into the resulting batter.

Four ingredients—blueberries, sugar, water and lemon juice—three hours in the freezer and you’re done.
We’re with Everyday Food on this one: “We like to pretend the super-healthy blueberries counteract the sugar in this delectable tart.”
While this sauce is great on waffles, as shown, it’s super versatile. Try it on top of ice cream, with your morning yogurt, or even with pork.
