One of my all-time favorite fruits ~ blueberries, often labeled a 'superfood', they are naturally sweet, low in calories, antioxidant-rich and nutritious. This highly versatile vibrant tiny fruit can be enjoyed as it is, a snack, or incorporated into various recipes. They are widely used in salads, baked items, desserts, smoothies, making them a convenient fruit to visually enhance and energize any meal.
I was lucky to be invited to attend the Blueberry Wonder Workshop at KL Wellness City in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur. The event was a feast for the senses, offering a delightful mix of informative talks, culinary demonstrations, hands-on activities and delectable treats centered around the antioxidant-rich Oregon Washington Blueberries.
The workshop began with a thought-provoking speech by Mr. Eddie Saw, a prominent figure from Total Market Solutions, shedding light on the fascinating journey of blueberries from their origins to their current status as a nutritional powerhouse. A representative of KL Wellness City, the venue sponsor, also shared some insights into the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle to complement the wellness-focused event.
Social media influencer and wellness advocate Iman Azman took to the stage to deliver an engaging talk on the significance of blueberries in our daily lives. These small yet mighty berries have become a staple in modern diets due to their remarkable nutritional value and versatility that can be incorporated into almost any dish and drink.
"My little ones especially, love blueberries in their cupcakes and as a parent I feel more assured adding fresh quality and nutritious ingredients into their favorite snacks and drinks," added Iman.
The event's gastronomic journey was further enhanced by Chef Zie Zie, who demonstrated the creation with a tantalizing Blueberry Rosemary Grilled Chicken Poke Bowl. Attendees had the opportunity to witness on the fusion of flavors that blueberries bring to both savory and sweet dishes.
