The Canadian Experience Food Project: Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean Wild Blueberries
The Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec is the province’s largest producer of wild blueberries. In fact, the residents of this region are referred to ‘bluets’ (or blueberries). Every year, the region celebrates the blueberry by hosting blueberry festivals such as the ‘Festival du Bleuet à Dolbeau-Mistassini’ featuring a 60 inch pie made with 200 pounds of wild blueberries enough for 450 servings as well as, tastings of blueberry blueberry contests, baked goods, jams, jellies, syrups and chocolate-covered blueberries which are a specialty from the Trappist monks. This is a day event for the whole family to enjoy.
