Everybody need to grow 2 blueberry plants for themselves, whether in garden or containers. Just do it !

Well done video. I would add one more precaution particularly for seniors. Blueberries are high in purines, and can contribute to hyperuricemia (gout). I know because I have a dozen blueberry bushes and couple of years ago I froze my crop and I was eating at least half a cup a day. After a few weeks I came down with a bout of gout, and it ain't fun!

Great job thank you!! I recently discovered TJ’s has a good frozen/ wild product in my opinion. Related, matcha green tea packs a huge ORAC punch. Just be careful of quantities, especially of green tea “extract.” Can be harmful. Not a dr., these are my opinions. Enjoy!

Question: is the term 'wild' indicating that they are wildcrafted and basically organic, or is 'wild' just part of the name that distinguishes it from the cultivated species? In other words, can wild blueberries always be considered organic, or can they be farmed with chemicals like the cultivated kind?

I have read that Frozen Blueberries are more nutrient dense than fresh... You didn't mention that in the video, so I don't know if it's factual... Thanks :-)

Blueberries, when they are good, are incredible. They're nicely tart. It's hard to get good ones fresh, though. A lot of times they come in overripe, due to excessive heat and/or moisture after they're harvested. I've actually written to Driscoll's and complained that their berries were consistently mushy and overripe, and they basically said this was due to weather conditions and/or vendor storage conditions. It's too bad. Fresh, firm, tart blueberries are amazing. Same with blackberries. It's just a shame one cannot rely on them when buying fresh.

I hate to ask a dumb question.but are frozen alright to eat ? I know fresh is best .but I can’t always get fresh ones . I’m in Australia in a small mining town the stupid supermarket doesn’t always have fresh ones .so I just get the frozen ones . Are they just as good ? ☺️

It's hard to find wild blueberries, so i just get what's at my local super market or trader joes, better than nothing
