Blueberry
A blueberry is a small blue-purple berry eaten fresh or cooked into baked goods, sauces, preserves, and desserts.
About Blueberry
A blueberry is a small, round berry with a blue to blue-purple skin and a pale, juicy interior containing tiny seeds. It is normally eaten whole with its skin and used fresh or frozen in baked goods, pancakes, sauces, jams, preserves, desserts, smoothies, and drinks.
It has a mild sweet-tart flavour, with firmness and sweetness changing by variety and ripeness. Cultivated and wild blueberries can differ in size, texture, and flavour intensity, so those forms should not automatically be treated as identical.
Blueberries may be sold fresh, frozen, dried, canned, or processed into purée or juice. When heated, the berry softens and releases strongly coloured juice; drying removes moisture, while canning, juicing, and puréeing replace the intact berry with altered forms.

Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.
Portions & preparation
Match the reference to whole blueberry fruit, distinguishing fresh or frozen berries from cooked, dried, juiced, pureed, or sweetened products. Remove non-edible stems where relevant and keep the edible portion consistent. Ingredients added in baked goods, sauces, preserves, or drinks belong to the finished recipe.
Compare the right form: Reference must match blueberry fruit in the identified fresh, frozen, cooked, dried, juiced, or pureed form and edible portion.
Diet considerations
Blueberry is plant-derived fruit. Plain berries are compatible with plant-based diets, but dairy, egg, gelatin, honey, cereal ingredients, coatings, and sweeteners can change compatibility. The carbohydrate pattern depends on portion and form, with concentrated, dried, juiced, or dessert versions differing from whole fruit.
