Australian Blueberry Sets New World Record

Weighing 20.40 grams, the record-breaking berry showcases advancements in agricultural breeding for larger, more resilient fruit.

An Australian blueberry has set a new Guinness World Record for the heaviest blueberry, weighing in at 20.40 grams.
The record-breaking blueberry, grown by Costa Berries in New South Wales, is from the Eterna variety, known for its large size and long shelf life.
The Eterna variety was developed as part of Costa's Variety Improvement Program, aimed at producing blueberries that can withstand hotter climates and are more pest-resistant.
Costa Berries is considering preserving the record-breaking blueberry in resin and displaying it.
This achievement reflects a broader trend towards breeding larger fruit varieties for snacking, in response to changing consumer preferences.
