Blueberries
Peak Season: June to August
Perfect Pick: Plump, uniform indigo berries with taut skin and a dull white frost. Check the bottom of the container for juice stains indicating berries have been crushed. Those with a red or green tinge will never fully ripen.
Handle with Care: Transfer, unwashed, to an airtight container and refrigerate for 5 to 7 days. Blueberries spoil quickly if left at room temperature.
The Payoff: More disease-fighting antioxidants (especially in wild blueberries) than most commonly consumed fruits, according to Cornell University researchers.
