Fruit

Blueberry fruit is the whole marketable berry—skin, pulp, and seeds together—as sold in punnets or bulk. Grade by size, colour uniformity, firmness, and freedom from mould or wet crush. The pale surface bloom is natural wax, not residue, and protects shelf life. This is the form for fresh eating, baking, freezing, and packing. Handle gently; crushed berries leak juice and spoil neighbours. For processing, fruit may be sorted by colour for jam versus premium fresh.
