You probably know what blueberries look like - they're those little purple-blue things you find fresh in the summer or frozen year-round at the supermarket. People love to eat them as is or add them to their breakfast cereal or oatmeal for extra flavor and nutrition. Some people also bake with blueberries, making muffins, cakes, and pies that are super tasty. If someone says they picked blueberries over the weekend, they're probably talking about collecting those fresh fruits from a nearby field or farm.
