Offhand, I can’t think of any fruit or vegetable that doesn’t have its own distinctive flavor . . . except for the very few I don’t like, like turnips and parsnips. Blueberries are among the ones I love the most . . . and they’re very nutritious too. ---

I have to say for me they have a distinct flavor in the extreme. I love them but it is a very strong flavor. Particularly when cooked. Huckleberries are even more so. I haven’t had bilberries in a long time but I remember them being very distinctly flavored as well, quite similar to blueberries. ---

Well, I voted “yes”, but I was thinking about them in muffins. I have some raw ones in the fridge, so I’ll see. They taste good and distinctive if I let them ripen to the almost too mushy consistency where they are sweet. But if I just eat the unripe ones, the sour overpowers most of the other flavor, and it is hard to tasted. I’ve often thought that most people eat unripe blueberries. I mean, if I didn’t know what they tasted like, I would assume the ones I called ripe were rotten. ---
