Would the tart blueberries taste as good if you didn't have to randomly power through 3 to 5 bland ones between each good one?

  Come to Finland in the summertime. Walk through the forest with blue fingers and mouth from eating the wild bilberries. 200x better taste than blueberries and free.

    Blue fingers and mouth from eating blueberries.

    Have you ever eaten a real blueberry like ever? They’re purple, sometimes almost red, but they aren’t actually nor have they ever been blue.

    Don’t you have warnings from parents that you should wash them first because otherwise you may eat it with foxes pee?

    This is how they scare kids in Poland while berry gathering but I suspect it’s a big lie to make kids bring them home instead of eating all of them there.

      Fox pee isn’t going to kill you. Just go after it’s rained, everything has been washed then.

  I’ve found store bought ones are usually bigger but blander. Wild or home grown blueberry is quite a bit better.

  Obviously you solve this by eating handfuls at a time

  I get my blueberry craving by mixing blueberry jam with Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream.

  If they’re firm, they will be tart. Let them sit a few days and the sugars will develop a bit and be sweeter.

    But the tart ones are the good ones.

  That’s why I prefer blueberry juice to blueberries. It’s all the good stuff and none of the bland.

    Raspberry for me, though I’m not sure if it’s fully artificial or “just” ultra-processed. It’s also partly because I like that flavor but I’m mildly allergic and about 25% of the time I eat it, my lip swells a bit, so I try to minimize how often I have it.

  Blueberries from Peru, one of the largest exporters, are generally are mostly bland mush in my experience. I remember hearing in a podcast someone saying they mostly grew a particular variety that was well suited for the climate but didn’t taste as good as other varieties that thrive more in North America.

    Interesting. These say they’re from Mexico. It would be pretty underwhelming if there’s a blander variety.
