Blueberry

Our customers use blueberries because they offer a powerful combination of flavor, color, and health appeal. Blueberries have a naturally sweet and slightly tart taste that works well in products like baked goods, cereals, beverages, and dairy items. Their deep blue-purple color, derived from anthocyanins, makes them valuable as a natural coloring agent while also supporting antioxidant-related health claims. Blueberries are commonly processed into purees, concentrates, dried forms, and powders, which extend shelf life and make them easier to incorporate into large-scale manufacturing. Additionally, they are associated with benefits like brain and heart health, allowing companies to market products as functional or “superfood”-based, aligning with consumer demand for nutritious, natural ingredients.

Brothers International is proud to offer various fruit juices and concentrates as USDA Organic certified.

Harvest Seasons

Blueberries grow in the Southern hemisphere from January to September and in the Northern hemisphere from June to October.

Botanical: Vaccinium Angustifolium / Vaccinium corymbosum

From Morning Muffins to Midnight Snacks

Hailed as a “superfood,” blueberries are small, round berries that grow on shrubs in the genus Vaccinium and are native to North America. They have a deep blue to purple skin with a pale green interior and are known for their juicy texture. Blueberries grow best in acidic soils and are typically harvested in the summer months, although different varieties allow for extended growing seasons. They can be eaten fresh and are also commonly frozen shortly after harvest to preserve quality. Blueberries have been consumed for centuries and were historically an important food source for Indigenous peoples in North America.
