Blueberries are small, round, sweet-tart berries that grow on shrubs belonging to the Vaccinium genus. They are typically deep blue-purple in color, although some varieties may appear nearly black or have a reddish tint. Blueberries are prized for their sweet flavor and numerous health benefits, as they are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. They are commonly eaten fresh, added to baked goods such as muffins and pies, blended into smoothies, or dried for use in trail mixes and cereal. Native to North America, blueberries are now cultivated in many regions around the world and are enjoyed both fresh and processed in various culinary applications.
