blueberries

Muffin fruit bits

Blueberries is the plural of blueberry, a small round fruit with dark blue skin and sweet flesh.

Native to North America, blueberries grow on shrubs and are eaten fresh, baked into muffins and pies, or added to cereals and smoothies.

They're marketed as a "superfood" for their antioxidant content: I add blueberries to my morning oatmeal.
