Blueberry

Blueberry is a small, round fruit known for its deep blue-purple color and sweet-tart flavor. Scientifically classified as Vaccinium corymbosum (commonly) or Vaccinium angustifolium, it belongs to the Vaccinium genus, which also includes cranberries and grapes. Blueberries are valued for their high antioxidant content, particularly anthocyanins, which may support health. They are typically eaten fresh, but also used in cooking, baking, and beverages. Native to North America, blueberries flourish in temperate regions and are widely cultivated for their flavor, nutritional benefits, and versatility in diets.
