blankletmusic Posted July 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Do you remember the price you paid for that quantity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 There are fresh blueberries available at nearly every fruit stand and vegetable market at one time or another. They range from 35 pesos for small and not too fresh to 80 pesos for organic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeser Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 I have bought them on the lake side of the caraterra in front of Guad Pharmacy and at the stand at east exit form Walmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogirl Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 I know you said locally but since they don't last very long and I don't like to bother with freezing them I've been buying them frozen at Costco. They are very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Vendors selling them fresh are all over the place around here. 50-80 pesos per liter are the best. I call them blueberries on steroids because they are so big and boy are they good! I can't understand why anyone would buy this wonderful and readily available berry frozen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 After you've washed the berries, soak them for a few minutes in vinegar water. I store mine in a much re-used container that has air-holes in the sides and once held cherry tomatoes (I think). I put a folded paper towel on the bottom and change it if it gets damp. I have kept the berries for up to 2 weeks although I usually eat them before that. Why would you ever buy frozen berries with the beautiful fresh berries we have here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luisa Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Frozen berries have a big ecological footprint. I bought fresh at Pancho’s this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Liana Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Ever since Mexico began producing blueberries, I have bought them fresh and grown locally, which for me is in Michoacán. There's no comparison with frozen blueberries, IMHO. I use them for pancakes, for muffins, for adding as fresh fruit to sugar-free natural yoghurt, for adding to salads, etc etc etc. I usually pay $120 pesos for a kilo at Costco or less if I can buy from a seller on the street. Walmart and other retail stores sell them for 60 pesos/170 grams, which IMHO is too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorn Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 We usually buy from Mario, the berry guy who drives to restaurants, bars, etc. all around lakeside. Great guy and great produce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
