As a New Englander that has made many blueberry muffins, pancakes, pies, loaf cakes - I would rather have the blue spots and "green?" spots than lose the flavor by washing them off. My kids only know spotty muffins! Actually, Dave, I didn't notice any reduction in flavor (I tested both ways); but to each his own, right? That's what I love about food - we're all free to have it however we prefer. PJH
