Farmers in Australia were left “stoked” when they noticed that among the blueberries they picked, there was one as big as a golf ball and weighing significantly more than average.

The giant blueberry, which is 39.31mm wide and weighs 20.4 grams - much more than the average of between 1 gram and 3.5 grams - was picked at a farm in Corindi, New South Wales, in November last year. On Tuesday, Guinness World Records publicly declared it the biggest blueberry in the world - a title previously held by a 16.2 grams berry with a diameter of 36.33mm grown in Western Australia.

    Generally speaking, I’m with you, but there is some new variety that’s come out recently that are both giant, and delicious. They’re more expensive than the small ones so I was doubly skeptical but I was blown away by the flavor.
