The climate in the fertile valleys of British Columbia allows for juicy and flavour packed blueberries. Thanks to the rich soils of the Canadian West, blueberries grown in that region are from the high-bush variety and are full of healthy nutrients giving them their nutritional superpowers. For centuries, First Nations People have enjoyed this typically Canadian little blueberry, which today continues its mission as a superfood by providing you with numerous benefits from coast to coast!
Eastern Canada is one of the leading growth areas for wild blueberries in the world. This plant grows based on its root system, and cannot be transplanted, which limits the number of areas where wild blueberries can be found. Wild blueberries are smaller than their cultivated cousins, but also tastier and crunchier. They are found in the fertile soils of the Boreal Forest and the Atlantic Provinces. Wild blueberries grow on low bushes in fields or in the forest and provide you with the same health benefits as cultivated blueberries. When you bite into them, you can taste the sunshine and the fresh air! From the time when they are picked until they are packaged, our conventional wild blueberries are tested for pesticide residue for over 260 of the most commonly know pesticides by our highly qualified team. Use our Wild Tested for Pesticide Residue blueberries in your favourite recipes!
