All blueberries are not alike! For food product designers, Wild, or lowbush blueberries from Downeast Maine and Canada, offer many advantages over their cultivated cousins. Smaller and more compact, with a more intense flavor, they freeze extraordinarily well and perform beautifully in a wide range of applications. Wild Blueberries also have more total antioxidant capacity than cultivated blueberries, and generally more beneficial antioxidant and phenolic compounds – making them a winning choice for your blueberry products.

Extraordinary Taste

A unique mixture of sweet and tangy Wild Blueberry varieties produces a delicious burst of flavor that you just can’t duplicate with other berry ingredients. This means your Wild Blueberry products will have a remarkable, memorable taste your customers will love.

Special Size

Naturally smaller and more compact, Wild Blueberries deliver more berries per pound–up to three times more berries than cultivated, highbush blueberries. Your products will show more of the juicy blueberries consumers are looking for, with more Wild Blueberry taste in every bite.

Superior Performance

Wild Blueberries add flavor while maintaining their taste, texture, shape and color throughout a variety of manufacturing processes. In fact, individually quick frozen (IQF) Wild Blueberries maintain their quality for up to two years and can be used frozen in food preparation for easy handing. Available year-round in a variety of forms and sizes, Wild Blueberries always perform beautifully.

Marketable Mystique

By nature, Wild Blueberries have a “wild mystique” all their own. One of only three berries native to North America, they have an appealing “wild imagery” that powerfully distinguishes Wild Blueberry products from all others. Add to that their status as health heroes, and you have a proven way to bring added value and excitement to your product line.
