Wild Blueberry Juice Concentrate

Other reviewers have mentioned this concentrate as being thick and syrupy. Mine is very thin, not much different from regular juice. I shook the bottle quite a bit before pouring, so I don't know why mine is different. Regardless, the flavor is definitely concentrated and it tastes normal after diluting. I mixed the concentrate with 1/2 cup of ice cold water. The juice was delicious and slightly tart, just the way I like it! The juice shipped in a Priority Mail box and arrived in 2 days with a large, red sticker advising me to refrigerate immediately. The box was well packaged with foam peanuts and the bottle cap was shrink wrapped. Nothing leaked. I try to eat at least one cup of fresh or frozen blueberries every day, but the idea of a juice sounds like a convenient alternative for some days. One tablespoon of blueberry juice concentrate equals one cup of blueberries. Since this juice comes from wild blueberries, it has even more antioxidants than regular blueberries. I'll still eat blueberries, especially since the whole fruit also contains fiber. A bowl of berries makes a fantastic dessert. However, I'll gladly drink the juice as well for an easy shot of antioxidants.

The flavor takes me back to the summers I spent in Blackstone, MA. While visiting Grandma, one of my chores and one of my joys was going into the woods behind her house and picking the wild blueberries which grew there in abundance. If you never tasted wild-grown blueberries, do yourself a favor and try this at least once. I use it everyday because of it taste and because of blueberry-associated health benefits (particularly cerebral, which some thought-leaders believe are more concentrated in wild-grown blueberries) I put it on store-bought blue berries, on yogurt, on ice-cream, in fruit-cup, on cereal, in water or mix it with other juices. It expensive, but a little goes a long... long... way. If you enjoy tart flavors, you will love this.

After I began making water kefir and melomels several years ago I began using juice concentrates and have purchased well over a dozen different brands and flavors. By far my favorite is the Wild Blueberry from FruitFast because of the high quality packaging, deeply-delicious flavor and popularity it gives to my home brews. In addition to the many health benefits that are packed into my home brews, I love to periodically take a tablespoon of the concentrate. I get 2 gallons of delicious home brews from each quart of concentrate which makes them much better and cheaper than similar store bought beverages. I buy this regularly and often - it is clearly a superior product.

I have bought several fruit juice concentrate from this company and have always been satisfied. Jerry, pomegranate and usually blueberry. All have been wonderful. The product is a great way of naturally getting your fruit related antioxidants and other nutrients (as a clinician I think this is a much more holistic way of assuring these nutrients rather than some powder in a pill.). My last order seemed like it may have had a problem. After being refrigerated when he opened the container gas escaped rather than there being a vacuum. I notified the company, and while I did not see correspondence (they may have corresponded but I just may not have seen it) the replacement product arrived today! Overall very happy experience and I will continue to order products from them!

This stuff is delicious, I bought it for adding to seltzer water and it is absolutely brilliant for that! The juice concentrate is a lot sweeter than eating blueberries, so be prepared for that and don't add extra sweetener unless you're looking to make syrup. Speaking of syrup, this will be perfect to add to lightly cooked fresh or frozen blueberries for a pancake or ice cream topping, little or no extra sweetening needed (I plan to use a little corn starch slurry to thicken it instead of adding sugar).

The taste is good, easy to mix. The reason I am trying this is it is suppose to sharpened the brain and it does seem to be working - or it seems it to me :-) and it hasn't been 3 months yet so I am really hoping. It certainly is worth a try since blueberries are good for you anyway.

Arrived cooler in this cooler weather pattern this week in the east, however I worry about getting this the the hotter summer months. I guess I can request an overnight shipment and pay for that. I believe that they used to pack it partially frozen and well insulted in a larger box. The product is excellent and provides great healing properties that I've been seeking from wild blueberries!

Very blueberry flavor. Be sure to keep it in the fridge.
