Review: Is there anything better than fresh local produce? Probably, but these blueberries are pretty damn good! Unlike frozen blueberries, the flavor these tiny blue spheres isn’t washed up and faded. Unlike the supposedly fresh berries you buy at your local supermarket, these berries aren’t squishy or wrinkled.
No, my friends, there’s none of that on-the-shelf-for-a-week nastiness here. Just a crisp pop and a flood of squirting rich flavor when you shovel these antioxidant filled seeds of sweetness into your mouth by the handful as I did. The flavor is a fine mixture of mild sweetness and the occasional surprise of a raspberry-like tang.
The extra buck or so you pay is worth the flavor and the knowledge that your money is going directly to the hard working source.
Rating: 4.5 / 5
