pink lemonade blueberries

Pink lemonade blueberries are designer agriculture. Corporate ag scoping out high profit drops. And awesome.

Every three months, I see a doctor in an office a block away from a Whole Foods. Every three months, I go into this WF to, typically, buy some hot prepared food for my lunch or dinner. Or linner.  I also always roll through the produce, mostly to be shocked by all the high pricing.
Today I took an attentive stroll past the large berries display. ONe side had organic berries, the other side conventional. WF sells mostly Driscoll berries which I am boycotting. Geez, they had a pound of Driscaoll's organic strawberries so cheap!!! those strawberries gave me the gimmees. I had to get some berries so I strolled around to the conventional side, just to see what was what.

I never buy conventional produce anymore. Never say never.

There, up close and almost personl, were teeny tiny, plastic clamshell containers container 4.4 ounces of. . .  drum roll . . pink lemonade blueberries. For only $5.99. For conventional!!!

Berries are some of, mostly, low glycemic fruit, good for this type one diabetic.  I have been tightly titrating my glucose and insulin lately. Which is how I rationalized buying a few ounces of pink lemonade blueberries.

Pink lemonade blueberries have no lemon taste. No pink inside but the skins are a bit pinkish.  They don't have all that much flavor.

I offered one or two pink lemonade blueberries to my property managers, then the two maintenance guys, then a couple neighbors.

My main property manager told me she just saw cotton candy cherries at Costco.  I said "I don't go to Costco, it's too hard to get to without a car but if I saw cotton candy cherries, I would buy one pint, for sure."

Pink lemonade blueberries!! They will be out of season by the time I see my pain specialist again. Praise goddess. They are spendy. They made me happy, so worth the indulgence.

Pink lemonade blueberries. Yowsa.
