While these low-bush blueberries are managed by keepers, the bushes are wild “because we have not planted them or genetically improved them,” not even by old-fashioned, pre-GMO plant breeding. The wild berries’ smaller size means more intense flavor because there is a higher skin-to-pulp ratio, and the skin is where flavor is concentrated. And the plants’ genetic diversity makes for a “medley of flavors” from tart to sweet.
