About Blueberries

Blueberries are small, round berries with blue, blue-purple, or dusky skins and a pale, juicy interior containing numerous tiny seeds. They are eaten fresh or used in baked goods, sauces, preserves, desserts, smoothies, and drinks.

Their flavour is mildly sweet-tart and varies with ripeness and variety. Fresh berries are generally firm and plump, while cooked berries soften and release coloured juice; cultivated highbush and wild lowbush types can differ in size, skin-to-pulp ratio, texture, and intensity.

They are sold fresh or frozen and may also be dried or puréed. The skin is usually eaten intact. Heating softens the berries and releases juice, while drying removes moisture and puréeing changes the whole fruit into a smoother ingredient.

Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.

Portions & preparation

Use a reference matching whole blueberry fruit and distinguish fresh, frozen, cooked, dried, juiced, or sweetened forms. Record the edible berries separately from stems or packaging liquids. Preparation in pies, sauces, preserves, smoothies, or cereals can add ingredients that change the assessed portion.

Compare the right form: Reference should match whole blueberry fruit in the stated fresh, frozen, cooked, dried, juiced, or preserved form and edible portion.

Diet considerations

Blueberries are plant-derived fruit. Plain fresh or frozen berries fit plant-based diets, while dairy, gelatin, honey, coatings, cereal ingredients, and sweetened preserves change compatibility. Their carbohydrate pattern is portion-dependent and differs between whole fruit and concentrated, dried, juiced, or dessert preparations.
