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.

    My grandfather had fields of blueberries and orchards of peaches and apples on his farm. This is bringing back some fond memories.
  • @terrygiang
    I love that you shared the Native American part of the blueberry history as well. Great video!
  • This channel deserves a show AND some awards. The amount of detail and information they add whilst making it understandable is amazing.
  • I can eat literally hundreds of this fruit, they’re so delicious and unique! 💜
  • @nickc3657
    Could you guys do a huckleberry video? They're perhaps the most underrated North American berry, and they're shockingly delicious!
  • @formealyour
    I love this video so freaking much, I never knew how much I was interested in blueberries, very at the most!
  • @toanhien494
    The Scenes, the lines, the Music, the visual Quality, the recipes and the host, everything is just perfect
  • @raffialli4362
    I just wanted to know why watermelons are seedless. Now, three hours later, i can't stop watching lol
  • @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!
  • @maporike
    I just discovered your channel and omg! These videos are so so so well done, you make it very understandable for people who don't have any agricultural knowledge but at the same time you share some interesting and more technical concepts. This should definitely be a tv show. Great job!
  • 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.

    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!
  • @roy4039
    Wow! This video is spectacular and I can really see the improvement of the quality of these videos as they progress. Great job and keep making amazing and educational videos!
  • @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!
  • @vishusharma8566
    I can watch you all day picking blue berries. Its like therapy. Thank you for existing Nicole.
  • @gabdominates
    She was so funny out in the fields! I love how far they go to show us every step of cultivating these berries
  • @RachelWhitson
    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!
  • @monnalnch638
    Hopefully there're more videos about "how does it grow?" really love watching it. I've got a lot of information.
  • @chrisez3188
    Like how much respect the general farmer has for his professional pickers that’s really dope
