Blueberries

Blueberries have dropped from the basket on an old wooden table.

With flavors ranging from mildly sweet to tart and tangy, the North American blueberry is bursting with flavor. And this berry has lots of cousins worldwide. In Europe, a nearly identical cousin is called the bilberry or European blueberry. There is also the huckleberry, winberry and hurtleberry.
