Uses

Melissa’s Jumbo Blueberries make a wonderful snack as well as an easy baking ingredient. Not only very flavorful, blueberries make a wonderful dessert decoration or topping. Blueberries have a characteristic film called “bloom” which provides a natural waterproof casing which keeps the skin soft and firm, adding a grayish hue to the dark berry. These Jumbo blueberries are specially grown in rich soil. These special blue berries are very large size and have an excellent vibrant blue color. The berries are plump, firm and full of juices. These berries are held on the vine longer and protected to slow down the maturing process, allowing them to develop into larger berries

Selection & Storage

Blueberries should be plump, dry, and firm with a deep purple or black finish. Discard any green berries, they will not continue to ripen. Store blueberries in a ventilated area in the refrigerator and enjoy soon after purchase. Take Advantage of these fresh berries during peak months of June, July and August.
