What is blueberry?

A blueberry is a small, round fruit that tastes sweet and a little tangy, like a tiny, juicy grape.

What It Looks Like

Blueberries are usually blue on the outside, with a bit of a purple shine, and they feel soft when you squish them, just like a ripe strawberry, but smaller and rounder. Some people say they look like little bubbles floating in a sky that’s turned blue.

What It Tastes Like

If you’ve ever eaten a raspberry, you know how it feels to have tiny seeds inside your mouth, well, blueberries are kind of like that too! They’re full of juice and a little bit of zip, like when you drink cold lemonade on a hot day.

Where You Find Them

You can find blueberries in the grocery store, usually in a container or sometimes still on the plant. In summer, they grow on bushes outside, and people pick them to make pie, muffins, or just eat them plain, like a healthy snack!
