New Jersey's official muffin, the blueberry muffin, symbolizes the state's agricultural pride, being a major producer of blueberries and having a historical connection to its cultivation.
The journey of the blueberry muffin to becoming New Jersey's state muffin took 11 years, inspired by an 11-year-old student who initiated the process by contacting local representatives.
In 2024, New Jersey formally crowned the blueberry muffin as its state muffin, highlighting the importance of regional foods and local agricultural pride.
The blueberry muffin reflects New Jersey's rich agricultural history, as the state was instrumental in the domestication of commercial blueberries in the early 20th century.
