Beth comments on Difference between store bought blueberries and ones from nature

You can get both of these at my grocery store. Right next to each other. Sometimes the same brand, sometimes different. I grew up eating off the tree/large bush and found all different sizes on the same tree. Main difference is the flavor.

Can you elaborate?

One tastes like blueberry, unlike the other which tastes like blueberry.

The bigger ones are sweet, sometimes too sweet, and don’t have a strong berry taste. They go good in like corn flakes or something when you need a healthy add-in. The smaller ones have a stronger flavor and can be too tart depending on if they are actually ripe. Sometimes they look ripe but if they are hard they are not ready to eat.
