The blueberry is a small, round berry, usually deep blue, sometimes purple or black, with a smooth, slightly waxy skin. Its flesh is juicy and sweet, light to pale purple in color, and its taste is subtle, sweet with a slight acidity, particularly refreshing. Depending on the variety, some blueberries can be sweeter, while others are more tart.

Blueberries are very rich in antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, as well as vitamins C and K. They are often eaten fresh, added to cereals, yogurts, or in fruit salads. They can also be used in baked goods, such as pies, muffins, or in sauces to accompany meats, or to make jams and juices.

Blueberry is a fruit prized both for its taste qualities and for its health benefits, particularly for its protective role against cardiovascular diseases and its beneficial effects on vision and the brain.
