    Those are probably only different species, maturation levels or even size of the same species, cut the crap

    Also, stop reposting :3

    They are different species after all, another difference could be seen slicing them and putting them side by side, the pulp should have a different color too

    Anyone who spends time in nature will tell you about varietals. You are being deliberately aggravating against readily accessible fruit. It’s still fruit. It’s still healthy. It’s strange you would gatekeep berries.

    these are different species? Here we call the left ones American blue berries and the right ones would be our native ones, that are blue/purble inside; Americans would however call them bilberries.

      I’m not a native speaker of English, and I’ve only recently learnt that the ‘blueberries’ I grew up foraging from the woods are in fact bilberries. Which is kind of interesting because although most people will call them blueberries, we have a regional name for them, ‘brimbelles’, that’s kind of similar to bilberries when you squint your eyes.

        It’s the same in Finland, I was raised thinking that I was eating blueberries when they were, in fact, bilberries.

          You did eat blueberries. In Scandinavian languages bilberries are called blueberries (blåbær, blåbär), because what Americans calls blueberries didn’t exist there (the American sort was only introduced to Europe in the 1930s).

          English isn’t alone in deciding what is a blueberry and what isn’t.
