BLUEBERRY | How Does it Grow?

❤️ BECOME A TRUE FOOD TV PATRON ❤️ www.youtube.co...
Blueberries have been growing in North America for thousands of years - they’re a native crop! But until recently, if you wanted to eat them, you had to find them in the wild. We uncover the amazing story of how the blueberry was tamed.

Ben Hussain You're talking about two different berries

[@tokee1234567]

Ben Hussain asian soil is more alkaline than acidic, which means blueberries can't grow there unless acidic environment is provided. Muslims might have eaten similar berries but not blueberries

[@usedtoilet8295]

vin 950 'old' world..... Eurocentric alert!

[@raviramdeen3]

Terry Giang 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@FindecanorNotGmail]

@vin 950 The American blueberry species have close relatives in Europe and Asia, with similar-looking and tasting berries, and the name "blueberry" often refers to all of them. In most European languages, the name of the native berry translates directly to "blueberry", and that same name is often also used for the cultivated varieties of American origin. In England, the European berry has a different name: _Bilberry_ , but it is likely that the American name for the American berry has its origin with settlers from other European countries that saw them and said "Hey, guys. I've found blueberries!"

[@toburae3870]

After watching several How Does It Grow videos, I have to say that I love these! They are educational like the things my generation used to watch in science class, entertaining enough to make me want more, professionally cut and edited AND our lovely host is not picture model perfect, but has beautiful natural looks in every video! I would not like these nearly as much if every shot had every single hair pasted down and perfected airbrush makeup, etc. This is... Naturally Vibrantly Beautifully Perfect! Great job on this series!

Your videos are fantastic. I share the videos with the students (Intellectually Disabled Adults) at my day program, which serves people with mild to profound intellectual disabilities. Everyone loves the videos; we have seen several. During our group discussion in the classroom, our verbal participants wanted me to thank you for your great work and they can't wait to see more of your videos.

[@TrueFoodTV]

I'm so delighted to hear this, and pardon my delayed response. Please send your students my appreciation for watching! High fives all around!

[@bonnifairy]

Loved learning about the history and significance of the blueberry with the Native American people, as well as how they began to be cultivated. I agree that the blueberry really embodies the spirit of the United States!

[@TrueFoodTV]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :))

[@justrayena526]

I love how you go back to the native roots of the blue berry. Thank you :) I appreciate the education I receive from your videos!

[@shroomyesc]

Very informative! In my country we call them "bush blueberries" and our "blueberry" is actually the bilberry, it grows everywhere in forests alongside lingonberries (and our land is mostly forest) so people tend to go to the forests to pick them up themselves. I personally like the american blueberries more but they're only available as imports or popular garden bushes.

[@formealyour]

What country do you live in? That's so interesting!

[@shroomyesc]

Finland! And when I said they grow everywhere, they really do! If you go into a forest, most of the undergrowth is bilberry bushes

[@MUtley-rf8vg]

+ShroomWalrus Have you by any chance had blueberries? And how would you compare them to bilberries? As far as I know bilberries are not available this side of the pond (North America), but I have been keen to try some.

[@JustTakeItInStride]

Oh my god! Thank you for this post! I've always had "blueberries" in Sweden, but when I ate blueberries in America, they didn't taste the same and were so tasteless. I could never figure out why they tasted so differently and just settled on the idea that climate affected their tastes. But after your posts and then looking it up on the internet, I found out they're different berries! I never even knew!

[@shroomyesc]

+M. Utley I've had blueberries, the taste is completely different to bilberries, as blueberries tend to be a bit tart. It's been a while since I had bilberries since their season is in late summer / early autumn but they taste much more "berry-like" and foresty. I would say while blueberries tend to be best enjoyed as is, bilberries are perfect for jams, muffins, pies, crumbles and all sorts of bakery, as their taste gets sweeter in the oven and their colour spreads easily.

[@chrisez3188]

Like how much respect the general farmer has for his professional pickers that’s really dope

[@RachelBayati]

Love the channel! My grandmother had a blueberry bush when I was growing up. My cousin and I would always snack on them when we'd come by to visit. We had some great memories there. Keep up the good work!

[@TrueFoodTV]

What a beautiful memory! Thanks for sharing it -- and for watching!!

[@waqarahmadansari9580]

geat ...hi

[@andrejluneznik9254]

Yes, the Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) is native to North America. But the genus Vaccinium has other species that also produce blue fruits which are known to mankind for thousands of years. Most notably the European Blueberry or Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus ) which is native to Europe as well as parts of Asia and North America. I personally prefer Bliberries - they are smaller and they are blue on the inside as well. They have a rich and aromatic blue-ish juice that is ideal for making sweet juices, jams or sauces. Plus, bilberries have been a part of the traditional european herbal medicine for thousands of years.

[@mdtaylor2274]

Insta-like when you mentioned the Native Americans. Please do more videos like this one. I've been watching your channel for a long time now and it's this type of production that lures in the likes and subscribers. Anything you do with a brief history, behind the scenes and supply chain of the farming industry is where you shine. From Portugal, with love.

When I moved back to Canada, my native country, in 2002, I was graced with living on a property that had a baker's dozen of high-bush blueberry bushes. The first year I lived there, once they were ripe, my mother and I could pick four, four and a half pounds a night... the next year was much drier, which I didn't realize until it was too late to water the bushes, and I ended up with... _three_ berries. =3

Some of the best blueberrys I've eaten I found while hiking around in Fort Mountain state park, in northern Georgia. My wife and me were snacking on them as we walked around, and another hiker asked us, " aren't those poisonous?". lol I explained that they were wild blueberrys and very delicious. There also some wild gooseberries here and there. edit: I've also had the "Those are poisonous." comment when people saw me eating elaeagnus berries. The're rather tart, with a kinda strawberry flavor. Very tasty, but has a huge pit in the fruit.

[@Alice27251]

Blueberries are for fun and must be native American. Bilberry (cousin of blueberry) is, though, more liked and in higher demand in Northern Europe. Perhaps, if Americans look around them ) they will find bilberry as well. (Short crawling bushes, green stalks, don't get "wooden brown", small and dark blue-black berries - black inside, stain things around like ink )). No "star" on the end of the berry, more like round circles in the same berry "end" ). Northern thing. Here in Russia, and there in England. and I think - in Norway, Finland, etc. - is believed to be good for eyes. Improves vision. That's why very expensive. Tender in taste, as well. Doesn't keep at all (

[@fanniheroja6936]

I'm from Finland and for a moment i was like "huhh those aren't blueberries," no but really, i didn't know the European blueberries were called bilberries

[@FindecanorNotGmail]

"Blueberry" to mean European Blueberry/Bilberry has been done in English in Britain before the colonisation of America. It just just over there in the USA, they call blueberries "Bilberries" and America "The Americas".

jini beligammana can they handle cold? And do they need much attention? I’m always going on long vacations so I’m not at home to water my plants.
