Frequently Asked Questions:
How can you tell when a blueberry is ripe?
Blueberries are ripe when they are plump and deep blue. They also have a light gray dusty appearance on the surface. Blueberries aren’t ripe if they are white, green, or have any hint of red.
How long does blueberry season last?
In the US, the harvest runs from April to late September, with peak depending on what state you’re in. Here in Michigan, the best time to get blueberries is in July and August.
Can I freeze fresh blueberries?
Yes! Freezing fresh berries is a great way to make them last throughout the off season. In fact, I have a great guide on how to freeze berries.
