wild blueberries
Small woodland berries
Wild blueberries are smaller, more intensely flavored berries that grow naturally rather than being cultivated.
Found across northern regions, they're prized for their concentrated taste and higher antioxidant content compared to commercial varieties: Wild blueberries make the best pie.
The term sometimes appears on packaging to suggest a more authentic or premium product.
