Farmers in Australia were left “stoked” when they noticed that among the blueberries they picked, there was one as big as a golf ball and weighing significantly more than average.
The giant blueberry, which is 39.31mm wide and weighs 20.4 grams - much more than the average of between 1 gram and 3.5 grams - was picked at a farm in Corindi, New South Wales, in November last year. On Tuesday, Guinness World Records publicly declared it the biggest blueberry in the world - a title previously held by a 16.2 grams berry with a diameter of 36.33mm grown in Western Australia.
Wild strawberries taste like tiny pieces of strawberry flavored hay. They’re tiny and they don’t taste good. That’s why we farm strawberries.
Vaccinium Corymbosum is just the bush form of the blueberry plant, which occurs naturally (in my yard) and in much of North America. It’s not Blue Huckleberry.
Blue Huckleberry is unrelated, and is actually Gaylussacia Frondosa.
Cascade Bilberry is a member of the Blueberry family and is colloquially called Cascade Huckleberry, or Vaccinium Deliciosum.
Vaccinium Myrtillus is the European variant which is also naturally occuring, and is more commonly called just Bilberry.
Neither is more domesticated, both are used in farming depending on location.
The effect you’re thinking of is the difference between chemical ripening and sun ripening. White Strawberries and pale blueberries (with poor flavor profiles) are signs of chemical ripening in a warehouse somewhere.
