I've never much cared for the fresh blueberries usually available in the
supermarket produce section. I've always thought they were too big, too
watery, too bland, and too gritty in texture.
Growing up, we always had access to the tiny wild blueberries which, IMHO,
are far superior in every respect.
A few years ago one of our local supermarket chains began carrying frozen
organic wild blueberries which are the best I've ever eaten. While they're
not cheap, there are certainly much less expensive than the less desirable
fresh berries.
Unless you are planning on serving raw, uncooked blueberries, these frozen
berries give a superior result in every recipe I've used them in.
I can recall the company who produces them, but if there's any interest I'll
be glad to check and post it.
