History of the blueberries
Native to North America, blueberries have been around for over 13,000 years! The blueberry species is part of the Vaccinium genus which includes over 450 shrubs, such as cranberries and huckleberries.
Handful blueberries

Native Americans were the first to discover the delicious berry and had used blueberries as natural flavour, colouring and for medicinal purposes. Blueberries were first cultivated at the start of the 20th century in North America and the colourful berry then made its way to Australian shores in the 1970s.

In 1974, Australia began growing blueberries commercially and the new varieties of blueberries being released has meant a consistent supply of blueberries throughout the year.

Grown with love
We gently nurture our blueberries through the growing season. They are hand-picked and carefully packed so they reach the supermarket shelves in premium condition.

SELECTION

SELECTION

When selecting blueberries, look for dry, plump berries that are free from bruises or dents. Fresh blueberries have a hazy white coating called ‘bloom’. Bloom, which works like sunscreen to protect the berries from the sun’s rays, is also a sign of freshness. Avoid berries that appear shrivelled or lack bloom.

STORAGE

STORAGE

Blueberries are best stored in the fridge, dry and in their original punnet. When fresh and stored correctly, they should keep for 5-7 days. They can be frozen, but don’t wash them before freezing as their skins may toughen. Blueberries can bruise easily, so it’s best to handle them gently. Leave them in their packaging and in the refrigerator until you’re ready to enjoy them.

CARE & EATING

CARE & EATING

Blueberries should only be rinsed right before eating otherwise they may go mouldy or soft. While blueberries are delightful on their own, they can also be added to a variety of sweet and savoury recipes.

Blueberries, enjoy all the berries.
