Wyman’s of Maine Fresh Freezing Fruit | Like Fresh Without it Going Bad
With living in New York state it seems like our fresh fruit growing season is very short, and it is over before you know it. What I love most about Wyman’s of Maine’s frozen fruit, (which is frozen when it is still fresh) is how many recipes I can use it in.
You can read more about Wyman’s of Maine in one of my previous posts with a smoothie recipe. They have a wide variety of fresh frozen fruit. Our Walmart did not have a big selection this time, but you can normally get strawberries, wild blueberries, raspberries, mango chunks, cherries and the list goes on.
What I love about the blueberries is that they are wild. Wyman’s has been growing wild blueberries since 1874 when it was founded by Jasper Wyman. Jasper Wyman & Son is a family-owned company which makes me feel good about their products even more. Also, it is interesting to know that they are a vertically integrated company. They assure the quality of their products from start to finish. In addition to Wild Blueberries, Wyman’s also supplies superior quality Frozen Blackberries, Raspberries, Cranberries, Strawberries and Mangoes, sourced from family farms in the US and abroad. They are one of the largest importers of frozen berries in North America.
Since I was only able to get blueberries and raspberries on my trip to the store, I decided to make muffins and pancakes. Who doesn’t love a delicious stack of blueberry pancakes? I will also be making Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins, and once I do I will add that to my post.
