Summer is all about the berries! They’re perfect for packing in picnic baskets, blending into smoothies or popsicles, or just plain old snacking. At Produce for Kids, we’re big fans of berries, especially blueberries! They are high in antioxidants, protect your brain and improve memory. These tiny berries truly are a super food!
