The blueberries were so big this year! I’ve had ones like the right side in my supermarket punnets occasionally too (although not often and not as big as those ones!)

Bigger ones are probably too fragile (soft) for mass market and transportation

It’s hard to go back to store-bought after you’ve seen (and tasted) the giants from your own backyard

These don’t look like the same species. Are you growing high bush? Low and scrub bush tend to be smaller, usually labeled as being wild blueberries.

The store-bought ones are sold because of their size. Most fruits get evenly sized down distributed to different locations for consistency sake. I would guess the ones at the store are the ones who shakedown to the bottom of the sizer. The big ones probably end up at specialty fruit places, restaurants, and food manufacturers

There are different kinds of blueberries, I prefer the smaller ones myself.

Different varieties give different sizes. You can buy big ones sometimes too. Weight is the measure that matters.

Nice grow, usually commercial facilities pull the crop a little bit early but you definitely know what you’re doing. Those are delicious looking blueberries.
Are you growing them outside, indoors and what fertilizer do you normally use?

I want an equal amount of blueberries in each muffin

Do the bigger ones have the same texture? Like they’re just as firm?

I prefer wild woodland blueberries which are smaller than both of these and much sweeter.
