In the early 1900's by Elizabeth White and Dr. Frederick Coville domesticate the wild highbush blueberry which resulted in today's cultivated blueberry industry. Blueberries come in two types, the smaller, and in some opinion, the better of the two, the wild blueberry found in Maine and Northeastern Canada, and the larger, cultivated blueberry found in Michigan, Indiana, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, North Carolina and Chile.  The blueberry of the genus Vaccinium, is a native American species. Early settlers cherished the wild blueberry fruit as a staple ingredient in foods and medicines. They incorporated the berries into their diets,eating them fresh off the bush and adding them to soups, stews, and many other foods.  North America is the world's leading blueberry producer, accounting for nearly 90% of world production at the present time. The North American harvest runs from mid-April through early October, with peak harvest in July which is also known as National Blueberry Month. 

Blueberries are loaded with anthocyanins, and have loads of vitamin C, and 
potent anti-oxidents.

Blueberries come in various retail packs: including 1/2 pints, pints, quarts, 
six-pint packs and five- and ten-pound bulk consumer packages.
