Heidelbeeren 300g

These are blueberries, called Heidelbeeren in German; there is no widely used Hindi name, as they are not a traditional Indian fruit. They are small, round, deep blue-purple berries with a firm skin and juicy, mildly sweet-tart flesh.

They are eaten fresh on their own, added to fruit salads and yoghurt, and used in German baking such as Heidelbeerkuchen.

How to use

• Rinse gently just before eating, as washing too early can make them spoil faster.
• Pick out any soft or shrivelled berries before storing the rest.
• Keep in the fridge and use within about a week.
