National Blueberry Pie Day

Blueberry pie is a dessert consisting of a sweet filling made from fresh or frozen blueberries that are combined with sugar, flour, cornstarch, and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The filling is typically poured into a pastry crust made from flour, butter, and water, and then topped with another layer of pastry or a crumble topping made from flour, sugar, and butter. Blueberry pie is a popular dessert in many parts of the world, particularly in North America where blueberries are grown and harvested in abundance. It is often served with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dollop of Greek yogurt on top. In addition to being delicious, blueberries are also known for their health benefits. They are low in calories and high in fiber and antioxidants, which may help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.
