Blueberry Season

On our San Francisco Tours, we love explore what is in season. Much to my delight, when I went down to farmers market, I was delighted to find that the blueberries from the Sierra Nevada foothills are coming into season. For the past couple of weeks, blueberries were coming from the San Francisco delta. The ones from the delta are good, however the ones from the Sierra Nevada foothills are even better. On our San Francisco Food Tours, we talk about pairing foods. Admittedly, the blueberries are great with other foods, however they are so delicious, you can eat them by themselves. When we try coffee drinks on our San Francisco Tours, we tastes the complexity of the flavors of the coffee and how great coffee doesn't need to be covered up with tons of sugar and cream. As we find on our San Francisco Food Tours, the flavors of the coffee can get lost when you cover them up. When blueberries are in season, they don't need anything. They are great just as they are. The same way that the truffles we try on our San Francisco tours have just enough sugar to bring out the flavor, but not enough to cover up the taste. Many people are used to bland berries, and assume that is norm, so therefore one has to cover them us. As we find on our San Francisco food tours, many people confuse old food with bad food. On our San Francisco tours, we emphasize the importance of eating locally seasonally and locally. However, eating locally and seasonally is not only good for environmental and economic reasons. As we find on our San Francisco food tours, it is also important because it tastes really good.
