Blueberries, also known as huckleberries, are most commonly known as tasty and blue-colored ingredients of cakes and cookies. In the US everybody knows blueberry muffin or blueberry pancakes – whereas in Europe the berry is eaten with yoghurts or as fruity jelly. There is a big difference between cultivated and wild growing berries. The cultivated ones grow on shrubs with a height of up to two meters. Their natural blue colorant is only part of their pericarp - their fruit meat looks white. Blueberries taste more sweet than sour and have a slightly wild flavor – and as dried berries, they are a heavenly blue pleasure.
