World's biggest blueberry the same size as a golf ball leaves farmers 'stoked'
A giant blueberry weighing 20.4 grams has been declared the biggest in the world by Guinness World Records this week. The title was previously held by a berry weighing 16.2 grams
Farmers in Australia were left "stoked" when they noticed that among the blueberries they picked, there was one as big as a golf ball and weighing significantly more than average.
The giant blueberry, which is 39.31mm wide and weighs 20.4 grams - much more than the average of between 1 gram and 3.5 grams - was picked at a farm in Corindi, New South Wales, in November last year. On Tuesday, Guinness World Records publicly declared it the biggest blueberry in the world - a title previously held by a 16.2 grams berry with a diameter of 36.33mm grown in Western Australia.
I'm all my years of working with produce, I can say with certainty that the bigger the blueberry, the shittier, grittier, and more mashed potato-like the inside.. But I'll be damned if stoked isn't the exact feeling I get every time I come across a monster.
Generally speaking, I’m with you, but there is some new variety that’s come out recently that are both giant, and delicious. They’re more expensive than the small ones so I was doubly skeptical but I was blown away by the flavor.
In my experience as a blueberry eater, the bigger the berry, the weaker the juice. Blueberries already barely have any flavor without turning it into a jam or sauce or pie filling, and the bigger they are the less they taste like anything. One the size of a golf ball must taste like pure air, but with terrible texture.
To eat a blueberry the way I eat an apple… what a dream!
Wear an old shirt.
Sure, but how did it taste?
Who cares how it tastes, how many yards from the tee did it drive?
