My wife buys frozen blueberries all the time but she gets the small wild
ones. I have bought fresh but she doesn't like the larger cultivated
berries because they have no flavour. She is particular about the types
of frozen berries she gets. She has a nice hefty serving of them every
morning with yogurt. I have occasionally added some frozen blueberries
to pancakes. I pour the batter and then scatter the still frozen berries
on top. They thaw quickly in the cooking process. If I add the berries
to the batter early they colour bleeds into the batter.

Where do the wild blueberries grow? Alongside the road? In the forest's?
How are they harvested and by whom? Nomads? Mountain people? Is it just
a marketing term?

There's a Dutch show that investigates food items and the marketing
claims around them. One time they had a product that said it consisted
of forest fruit. They called the producer and asked which forest that
was. Producer said the fruit came from a forest, but didn't want to
get into specifics. A lot of research later, it turned out the fruit
came from Polish farms.
