In Australia, fresh blueberries are grown across multiple climate zones—from sub-tropical New South Wales to temperate Tasmania—making them locally available almost all year round.
Choose blueberries that are plump, firm, and deep blue with a natural whitish, powdery coating called bloom.
Blueberries were once only wild-picked—commercial cultivation didn't begin until the early 1900s. In 1916, Elizabeth White and Frederick Coville harvested the first commercial crop in New Jersey, USA, helping turn this tiny wild berry into a global favourite.
