BLUEBERRY (PREORDER)

12 x 1pint clamshell Blueberry aka "Lan-Mei", "蓝莓" Blueberry is a dark blue/dark purple skin berry covered by a waxy bloom with a five-pointed crown on the underside of the berry. Inside, the flesh is usually light green, light yellow, or white. Unripe blueberry tastes sour while ripe blueberry has a refreshingly sweet flavor that is not overly sweet. Blueberry is available year-round. Handling Tip Selection Blueberry is deep purple or blue-black in color with little to no red at the stem end. Most varieties have a waxy dusting on the surface that is otherwise known as bloom. Lack of bloom on some varieties may indicate a lack of freshness and excessive handling. Blueberry feels firm with no signs of bruise, decay, or sunscald. Discard any green blueberry because the berry does not ripen after harvest. Storage Blueberry should be stored at 31ºF - 32ºF (-0.5ºC - 0ºC) with relative humidity above ninety percent with no mist. The typical shelf life is two to four weeks. High humidity is important to avoid berry shriveling.  Blueberry is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Blackberry should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to avoid gray mold growth. Blueberry produces a low amount of ethylene. Blueberry is not sensitive to chilling injury. The freezing point for blueberry is 30ºF (-1ºC) should be avoided.
