Some days, we might not get as many as we'd like, and that's okay. What matters is doing our best and finding ways to fit them in when possible. However, this Maine city disagrees and makes time for their fruits and vegetables a lot more than every other city.

Mainers love their wild blueberries for many reasons.

First and foremost, they're a native fruit to the state, so we have a built-in general state pride towards them. Second, wild blueberries are packed with antioxidants and nutrients, making them a healthy choice, which is why we’re talking about them in the first place. And third, they're versatile; they can be used in every meal of the day, from pies to pancakes.

So we know that Maine and Mainers love their blueberries, but which city eats the healthiest in the country?
