More than a decade after the use of the fungicide benomyl was discontinued in the U.S., its toxic effects are still fresh in the minds of an interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Origin of Blueberry Muffin Recipes. The history of blueberry muffin recipes began with the introduction of muffins in the 18th century in England. Within no time, muffins had started selling in the streets of London as a tea time snack by the muffin men.
The blueberry, named for its velvety, deep-blue color, is one of the few fruits native to North America. Native Americans used the berries, leaves and roots for medicine and used the fruit as a fabric dye. Blueberries originally are found in the wild, and now they can grow in many regions of the United States.
