Blueberries on My Cheeze !

Blueberries are blue,

thanks to a blue/purple pigment called 'Anthocyanin' (antioxidant),

Antioxidants can be easily destroyed with heat:

Most blueberry cheesecakes have blueberries baked with the cake

but in this cheezy recipe...

the goodness of antioxidants are kept just by throwing fresh blueberries on the top.

Pretty !

Beetroot Sponge Cake

Beetroots (aka Beets) contain an antioxidant called Betalains that gives it that rich red/pink/purple color.

an ideal method of cooking beets to retain slightly more betalains would be:

steaming <15minutes.

Bars of Lemonsin is akin to shortcakes - a sweet biscuit that originated from America.
