The berry of several species of Vaccinium, an ericaceous genus, differing from the American huckleberries in containing numerous minute seeds instead of ten nutlets. The commonest species are Vaccinium Pennsylvanicum and Vaccinium vacillans. Vaccinium corymbosum is the tall blueberry.
Highbush blueberries Vaccinium corymbosum have been bred from the American wild blueberry. The purple fruits with a grey bloom are produced in clusters on 1.5 to 2 m high bushes and are similar to bilberries 2 Rabbit-eye blueberries Vaccinia ashei are smaller and grittier than the Highbush varieties. Both cultivated and wild varieties are used to make the well-known American blueberry pie.

More closely related to the cranberry than to the raspberry, the blueberry (and bilberry, huckleberry, and like berries) is distinctively different from both. Unlike the cranberry, it is sweet enough to eat raw, whole, and out of hand. Unlike the raspberry, it is sturdy enough to store, and it freezes well. With its relatively high sugar and acid content, it's the closest thing to an all-purpose berry.
The blueberry of the genus "Vaccinium," is a Native American species. One of only three berries native to North America; Wild Blueberries were well known to the earliest inhabitants. To settle the question about blueberries and huckleberries being the same berry, they are not. Huckleberries have ten large hard bony seeds, which do not disappear when the berries are baked, boiled, or eaten fresh. Wild blueberries have many tiny seeds that are so soft they literally melt in your mouth.
The blue-black berries of this plant are smooth-skinned, round, juicy, and sweet. Look for firm, uniformly sized blueberries that are indigo blue with a silvery frost.

Blueberry is a French language comic strip created by Jean-Michel Charlier and Jean "Mœbius" Giraud. It chronicles the adventures of Mike Blueberry on his travels through the American Old West.
Blueberry is a French movie adaptation of the popular European comic of Jean Giraud (better known as Moebius) and Jean-Michel Charlier. Very loosely based on the graphic novel (the late Charlier's family disowned the film), the movie stars the French star Vincent Cassel as the title character along with Michael Madsen and Juliette Lewis. Although the film is a French production, the language of the western is in English because the story is set in America's Wild West in the 1870s.
