Farmers in Australia were left “stoked” when they noticed that among the blueberries they picked, there was one as big as a golf ball and weighing significantly more than average.
The giant blueberry, which is 39.31mm wide and weighs 20.4 grams - much more than the average of between 1 gram and 3.5 grams - was picked at a farm in Corindi, New South Wales, in November last year. On Tuesday, Guinness World Records publicly declared it the biggest blueberry in the world - a title previously held by a 16.2 grams berry with a diameter of 36.33mm grown in Western Australia.
I bet it tastes like shit. The difference between wild blueberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) and something like a blue huckleberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) is like a night and day. The bigger the berry the blander the taste. This applies to strawberries aswell. Wild strawberries (Fragaria vesca) are significantly sweeter tasting than garden strawberries.
Bilberries are the real blueberries. This is just one of those tasteless waterberries.
