Experience the vibrant taste of SanLucar Premium Jumbo Blueberries from Peru. These generously sized berries burst with a perfect balance of sweet and tart, delivering an unforgettable juicy freshness. A true superfood, ready to elevate your daily routine.

Our SanLucar Premium Jumbo Blueberries are nurtured under the ideal conditions of Peru, a region celebrated for producing some of the world's finest berries. The specific climate and rich soils of these farms, combined with SanLucar's dedication to quality, ensure each blueberry develops its exceptional size, vibrant colour, and intense flavour. This lineage guarantees a consistently superior berry, a testament to expert cultivation.

These aren't your average berries. SanLucar Premium Jumbo Blueberries live up to their name, boasting a significantly larger size than standard blueberries. Each berry is a perfect sphere, adorned with a natural, dusty bloom that signifies its freshness and quality. Their deep, inky blue-purple hue is rich and inviting, promising a concentrated burst of flavour within.

Bite into a SanLucar Jumbo Blueberry and experience a symphony of taste and texture. The skin offers a slight, satisfying 'pop' before revealing a succulent, firm flesh that’s sweet with just a hint of refreshing tartness. The flavour is complex and aromatic, far deeper and more intense than smaller varieties, making them incredibly satisfying whether eaten on their own or in a dish.

Our SanLucar Premium Jumbo Blueberries are air-freighted with meticulous care from Peruvian farms, bypassing unnecessary intermediaries. This direct sourcing ensures minimal transit time, preserving their delicate flavour and nutritional integrity from farm to your table, exactly as nature intended.

While blueberries are often associated with cooler climates, our access to premium Peruvian harvests ensures a more consistent availability of these jumbo beauties for discerning fruit lovers in India. Keep an eye on our stock, as seasonal variations can influence supply, but we strive to offer these exceptional berries as regularly as possible.

Nutrition Information

Blueberries are a nutritional powerhouse, low in calories yet packed with beneficial compounds. Per 100g, they offer a good source of dietary fibre, which supports digestive health, and Vitamin C, known for its role in immune function and collagen production. They also provide Vitamin K, important for blood clotting, and Manganese, which supports bone health. Beyond these, blueberries are renowned for their high antioxidant content, particularly anthocyanins, which contribute to their vibrant colour.

How to Eat & Store

How to tell it's ripe

• Deep blue-purple colour throughout the berry.
• Plump and firm to the touch, not soft, shrivelled, or mushy.
• A natural, frosty 'bloom' (white, waxy coating) is present, indicating freshness.
• They should have a subtly sweet, inviting aroma.

How to cut and eat it

1. Gently rinse blueberries under cool running water just before you plan to eat them. Avoid washing them too far in advance, as excess moisture can encourage spoilage.
2. Pat them dry lightly with a paper towel if using them in a recipe where excess moisture is not desired.
3. Enjoy them fresh as a healthy snack, sprinkle over cereals, oatmeal, or yogurt, blend into smoothies, or incorporate into your favourite baked goods.

Storage instructions

• Store unwashed blueberries in their original plastic punnet or a breathable container in the coolest part of your refrigerator.
• Keep them separate from fruits that produce ethylene gas, such as apples or bananas, as this can accelerate their deterioration.
• For optimal freshness and flavour, consume within 5-7 days of purchase.
• To freeze for longer storage, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.

Ripening at home guide

Blueberries do not ripen further once picked from the bush. The berries you receive from Terra Fresh are at their peak ripeness. Focus solely on proper storage to maintain their freshness and quality.
