National Blueberry Muffin Day is celebrated on 11 July. While blueberry is one of the less popular muffin flavors, those who love it swear by it! National Blueberry Muffin Day was created in order to celebrate the culinary delight that is the blueberry muffin! Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and have tons of health benefits, and having a muffin is the tastiest way to incorporate these berries into your diet. In fact, a lot of people consider blueberries to be a superfood. These berries aid in weight loss and healthy digestion, and they keep you full for a long time. Moreover, blueberries also boost mental health, protect against heart disease, manage blood sugar levels, improve skin clarity, and make our bones strong. The list of blueberry benefits is really quite impressive!
National Fried Chicken Day
Fried chicken’s a greasy, deliciously indulgent comfort food enjoyed all over the world. But did you know that the ultimate soul food originated in our own backyard — where Scottish chicken-frying methods were combined with West African seasoning traditions — to create what is now one of the world’s favorite guilty pleasures? Fried chicken was an expensive delicacy up until World War II, but thanks to mass production techniques, we’re now able to indulge ourselves on the cheap in almost any city in the world. So on July 6, we get out our buckets ‘o’ chicken and napkins, because it’s National Fried Chicken Day.
