Blueberries and Huckleberries

Blueberries are on the list of the 10 healthiest foods to eat. This is mainly due to the fact that they are high in antioxidants.
Huckleberries are wild blueberries and are even higher in antioxidants than commercial or bush blueberries.
Wild blueberries mainly grow in the very northern states of the U.S., such as Maine. The mountains of West Virginia are one of the very few places that they grow, south of the northern states.
We are fortunate to have this resource close to us in the Potomac Highlands.
If you like to get out in nature for the day and get some sun, they are fun to pick.
Huckleberries make great jam and are delicious to eat while you are picking them.
Since huckleberries like to grow around rocks and in areas where the bears live, you should not pick them if you are afraid of snakes and wild animals.
