  1. CONTEST DESCRIPTION

No matter how you enjoy your wild blueberries—in your favorite recipes, as a snack, fresh, frozen, raw, or cooked—wild blueberries are known to cause stains and can be messy. Thanks to their anthocyanins!

Blue all over? Wear your wild blueberry stains with pride and celebrate the power of blue. Canadian wild blueberries are rich in anthocyanins, the natural pigments responsible for their intense colour. They are tasty and nutritious and enhance everything from breakfast to dessert.

Did you know that a diet high in anthocyanin-rich foods is associated with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases? These are found in colourful fruits and vegetables. That’s a good reason to get your fingers stained!

 

Share a photo of your stained fingers, messy recipes, colourful drinks, or any creation with wild blueberries that leaves its mark for the chance to win one of four gift cards redeemable at a grocery store.

 

There will be four winners, divided into four photo categories:

 

  • Cute
  • Funny
  • Messy
  • Wild
