- Blueberry aka "Lan-Mei", "蓝莓"
- Blueberry is a dark blue/dark purple skin berry covered by a waxy bloom with a five-pointed crown on the underside of the berry. Inside, the flesh is usually light green, light yellow, or white. Unripe blueberry tastes sour while ripe blueberry has a refreshingly sweet flavor that is not overly sweet. Blueberry is available year-round.
Handling Tip
Selection
- Blueberry is deep purple or blue-black in color with little to no red at the stem end.
- Most varieties have a waxy dusting on the surface that is otherwise known as bloom. Lack of bloom on some varieties may indicate a lack of freshness and excessive handling.
- Blueberry feels firm with no signs of bruise, decay, or sunscald.
- Discard any green blueberry because the berry does not ripen after harvest.
Storage
- Blueberry should be stored at 31ºF - 32ºF (-0.5ºC - 0ºC) with relative humidity above ninety percent with no mist.
- The typical shelf life is two to four weeks. High humidity is important to avoid berry shriveling.
- Blueberry is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Blackberry should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to avoid gray mold growth. Blueberry produces a low amount of ethylene.
- Blueberry is not sensitive to chilling injury. The freezing point for blueberry is 30ºF (-1ºC) should be avoided.
