Blueberry


Hello, Steemians. Blueberries are still green, but they will be good to eat soon 😋

This photo was taken by Nikon D3100 in forest somewhere in Slovenia.

Blueberries are perennial flowering plants with indigo-colored berries. They are classified in the section Cyanococcus within the genus Vaccinium. Vaccinium also includes cranberries, bilberries and grouseberries.Commercial "blueberries" are native to North America, and the "highbush" varieties were not introduced into Europe until the 1930s.

Blueberries are usually prostrate shrubs that can vary in size from 10 centimeters (3.9 in) to 4 meters (13 ft) in height. In the commercial production of blueberries, the smaller species are known as "lowbush blueberries" (synonymous with "wild"), while the larger species are known as "highbush blueberries".

The leaves can be either deciduous or evergreen, ovate to lanceolate, and 1–8 cm (0.39–3.15 in) long and 0.5–3.5 cm (0.20–1.38 in) broad. The flowers are bell-shaped, white, pale pink or red, sometimes tinged greenish. The fruit is a berry 5–16 millimeters (0.20–0.63 in) in diameter with a flared crown at the end; they are pale greenish at first, then reddish-purple, and finally dark purple when ripe. They are covered in a protective coating of powdery epicuticular wax, colloquially known as the "bloom". They have a sweet taste when mature, with variable acidity. Blueberry bushes typically bear fruit in the middle of the growing season: fruiting times are affected by local conditions such as altitude and latitude, so the peak of the crop, in the northern hemisphere, can vary from May to August.

El arándano tiene muchas propiedades y esta catalogada como la fruta mas completa de la naturaleza y posee excelentes propiedades para nuestro organismo. Vivo en Venezuela y aquí no se da esta fruta, pero en mis viajes a EEUU, a visitar a mi hermana y sobrinas aprovecho la ocasión de comer en abundancia, me encanta!!!!!
