Highland Fruit Packers Blueberries

Some of my best friends are highland fruit packers...

These blueberries (a 1 pint clamshell; sorry no picture) were top tier. Granted, I can't eat them until they're cooked, and cooked, all fruits become near identical, but they LOOKED like they'd be really good fresh, too. Really plump, pale, and tasty. Not sour like those little tart ones. Not mealy looking, either. I should have just eaten one but I'm trying to protect my mental (and therefore physical) health, lol. Anyway, the blueberry pie/cake thing I made with these turned out better than it did the other two times I made it (with frozen tart and frozen plain blueberries, respectively), so I'm pleased with the Highlanders (a BC, Canada company, which is tragically far from me, classic Acme). 

Overall
Cost: 6/10 [4$]
Taste: 7/10

SunBelle Blueberries

Belle from Beauty and the Beast could only see the world through books; I can only see the world through fruit in my local produce box. These bleuets are from Peru! (Distributed via Illinois.) But I digress. Blueberries are a top tier fruit. Never caused me an allergy problem or any other problem. Sure, sometimes you get a moldy one, or a squished one, or a shriveled one, but for the most part they're hardier than {rasp/black/straw}berries and probably equally tasty. Very consistent. These were particularly large, plump, and light-colored (therefore less sweet). There were also a few live ladybugs in the container, which I took as a good omen. (I did not eat or harm the ladybugs.)
