20+ Very Berry Recipes

Delicious berry recipes to enjoy these precious summer fruits while they are in season, from strawberries to raspberries, blackberries to blueberries.

They are small and adorable, sweet and sour, rounded and gorgeous in color… we all love summer berries! Whether we use them in sweet or in savory recipes, berries always brighten up our plate in the most beautiful way. On top of being absolutely delicious, berries are also nutritious and provide a number of impressive health benefits. A few health benefits from berries to keep in mind:

• They are loaded with antioxidants, which helps keep free radicals under control
• They are high in fiber, including soluble fiber
• They are high in vitamin C, among many other nutrients
• They have strong anti-inflammatory properties, etc.

As for now, we enjoy them fresh in some creative homemade berry recipes to try throughout summer or anytime of the year for some of them that can be prepared with frozen strawberries. Enjoy!
