As I’ve mentioned before, blueberries are great brain food. But they are also on the Dirty Dozen list so it’s a great idea to choose organic whenever possible. And did you know that pear skins contain four times the phytonutrients as the fruit itself? And they are a great source of fiber. This fiber is one of the reasons that eating pears with skins on can help regulate your blood sugar. Then there’s ginger with its amazing anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiviral properties.
For a healthy dessert or breakfast treat, you can’t go wrong with this tasty, easy-to-make Ginger Pear Blueberry Crumble!
