Why go wild for Wild Blueberries?

• Wild Blueberries have a more intense flavor than regular blueberries. Wild Blueberry
plants are more genetically diverse with thousands of interlocking plants spreading and
interlocking naturally across fields over thousands of years. That diversity is what gives
Wild Blueberries their complex and delicious flavor—an extraordinary mix of tart and sweet.

• Wild Blueberries have two times the antioxidant capacity of the larger cultivated blueberries.
A growing body of research shows the potential health benefits of Wild Blueberries
including gut health, diabetes, cancer, and brain health.

• 99% of the Wild Blueberry crop is frozen fresh at harvest, which locks in their nutrition and
taste.

• Wild Blueberries are called “wild” because they are not planted— they have occurred
naturally in barrens and fields in Maine and Eastern Canada for 10,000 years.
