“When we picked this one, there were probably around 20 other berries of a similar size.” He added,“While the fruit is large, its quality and taste would remain as good as we had expected.” When asked what he would do with this berry, he said a smoothie (冰沙) might be the most proper end for it.
The Eterna type is part of Costa Group’s Variety Improvement Program. The program has been running for more than 25 years.

A farm in Australia has hit the record books after producing the world’s heaviest blueberry (蓝莓).

“When we picked this one, there were probably around 20 other berries of a similar size.” He added,“While the fruit is large, its quality and taste would remain as good as we had expected.” When asked what he would do with this berry, he said a smoothie (冰沙) might be the most proper end for it.
The Eterna type is part of Costa Group’s Variety Improvement Program. The program has been running for more than 25 years. And it plans to develop new kinds of blueberries in the Americas, Morocco, China, Africa and other regions. Its manager George Jessett said,“We are always looking to develop new kinds of blueberries.
