Because you don't grow and or pick your own.

Buy in season and buy frozen otherwise. This is the same reason we don't buy grocery store tomatoes, dumdum.

>>12124934
Because the taste doesn't matter as long as they look good enough for people to buy them. Uniformity > taste

do you eat blueberries one at a time? like as a snack? that's kind of weird isn't it?

>>12125278
>half of us are in season
>half of us are sweet
>we're visually indistinguishable
same problem

0/10, try again

>16oz package is $7
Fuck that noise. I could buy two pineapples and a cantaloupe for that money

>>12124934
>turn to mush after a day
fucking jews. nothing ever changes.

It’s because you buy genetically modified farmed ones. The ones which grow in forests taste awesome.

bilberries are the thinking man's berry

>It’s because you buy genetically modified farmed ones.
It's not tasting different if you genetically modify them in the scale you are probably referring to.

>>12125608
That's a weird way to spell lingonberries, Anon.

>>12124934
the ones I pick from the forest in the summer are good tho

My grandma owned a u-pick blueberry farm that my family inherited. Before she died she taught me some of the maintenance it needs and hopefully I’ll be able to keep it going. They are some fine berries, I don’t really like them fresh, but I’m muffins, pies, and jam they really can’t be beat.

>>12125843
Can I work on your farm

>>12124934
There’s nothing to fix. The problem is that you have the palate of a five-year-old. Maybe if you coated your fruits in sugar you would like them better FUCK

Because they're domesticated.

>>12124934
blueberries are an american thing, not enough interest. I mean in the 90s you paid enormous prices for chilean blueberries that were equally shit. It's getting better but god damn

>>12124934
Buy the frozen tiny ones that are blue/black all the way through, they're way better. Or pick them yourself.

>>12124934
Are they supposed to be sweet or sour? I like em sour.

>>12125419
Imagine being so fat you cant comprehend eating fruit as a snack

Just add a pound of sugar to them and fill up some pastry, fatass.

blueberries are based as fuck and if you disagree you are a total faggot.

>>12124934
I pick my own at this blueberry farm every year and sample the bush prior to picking because some will be sweeter than others. However, the commercial pickers just go through and pick all the underripe berries since the ripe ones will spoil or be damaged in shipping before they hit the shelves. So even in season, the berries you get from supermarkets will have ripened on the shelf, not the vine which means less sweetness.

>>12125428
What?
>>12125557
What if you needed blueberries tho? None of those things are even close.

Frozen wild blueberries > canned wild blueberries >>>>>>>>> farm fresh blueberries

>>12126355
>Coating fresh fruit in sugar
Just preserve/pickle or cook with it if you can't take it as they are, sour or not.

>>12127199
It's a Scandinavian thing

>>12124934
Variety is the spice of life anon.

I've noticed that the regular ones are always sour while the organic ones are always sweet.
The problem with organic ones is that they literally cost like $4 for a couple handfuls.

>>12127897
who the fuck gets into a situation where they *need* to buy a specific fruit? fuck off, roastie

>>12125419
How is fruit as a snack weird?

>>12128017
If you needed to make blueberry muffins you would probably need to buy some....... Idk......... Blueberries, maybe?

>>12128273
Meanwhile, that 'sperg you're responding to:

"Hi everyone! I made you blueberry muffins!

...except they're banana pancakes. Same thing."

>>12127897
>>12128273
...I don't think this anon is baiting.

>>12126050
No I’m pretty sure you’d steal berries and likely try to sexually assault me.

>>12124934
>not eating multiple
should balance out

>>12124934
Blackberries are the same way, you know.
Rule of thumb is, the darker the berry, the sweeter it is.
The more sun the berry gets, the sweeter it is. That's one of the reasons that one bush will produce both sweet and tart berries. Those that develop deeper in the bush get less sun.
Too much rain/watering can also affect the flavor and texture of the berry.

>>12129710
Mmm hmmm..... The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice

>>12128971
lol, spicy

>>12124934
That's why you eat it as a handful anon.

>>12128971
Anon wtf i would never steal blueberries
