Myths and legends about blueberries;

300 years ago, the Tianchi Mountain area in Changbai Mountain was full of monsters and dances. Blueberry, the beautiful daughter of the Dragon King of Tianchi, was ordered to exorcise demons and fought fiercely with the snake spirit, the head of the group of demons, for three days and three nights. Finally, blueberry and snake essence died together, and Changbai Mountain was restored to its former tranquility. Since then, the manager of Lotus has produced a green dwarf plant covered with purple and black fruits. After the beloved daughter of Tianchi Dragon King turned into blueberry, the old dragon king missed him all day, because he cried and thought every day, and his vision was blurred.

One night, the little dragon girl had a dream for her father and said, "Dad, you don't have to worry about your daughter. I do my duty to defend my home. You should be proud of me. If you miss me, eating a few blueberry fruits every day can cure your eyes. Later, the dragon king missed his daughter, so he ate blueberries and his eyes slowly regained sight. The Dragon King of Tianchi commemorates his daughter with magic. Since then, the whole Changbai Mountain area has been covered by this plant. People at the foot of the mountain go up the mountain to pick blueberry fruits to eat, and call them the protector of eyes.

He called these small fruits "Little Blue Fruit" and "Rubus" respectively. The former is the most common blueberry in this area. This is the earliest written record of making cakes with berries so far.

John Joshley, the author of The Curious Story of New England published in 1672, is an Englishman. He traveled to New England (the northeast corner of the continental United States) in17th century. He was the earliest discoverer of species in this area. When talking about the fruits in this area, he wrote: "There are two kinds of cranberries in Europe, black and sky blue. The latter is more common than the former. Indians dried these cranberries and sold them to the British in barrels. The British changed them into gallons and cooked or baked them in pudding.

Later, blueberry cultivation gradually spread to North America:

At the end of19th century, the commercial cultivation of blueberry with rabbit eyes began. 1906, the cultivation of high cluster blueberry began.

In China, there are wild species resources of blueberry plants such as Vaccinium uliginosum (commonly known as Vaccinium uliginosum and persimmon) and Vaccinium uliginosum (commonly known as red bean) in Changbai Mountain and Daxing 'anling Mountains in Northeast China. Blueberries produced here have unique flavor, sweet and sour taste, good taste, edible, can be used as drinks, spices and wine. In southern China, Vaccinium plants are mainly distributed in southwestern provinces, and Vaccinium bracteatum is a tree species with high utilization value.

Blueberries growing in the virgin forest in the northern Daxing 'anling Mountains of China are called "Dupersimmon". Blueberries can resist the cold of MINUS 50 degrees, their roots grow in frozen soil all the year round, and their fruits are rich in nutrition. Wild blueberry is a precious wild fruit with high nutritional value.

Why should we bake "love" blueberries?

In the process of baking, our team can be said to be meticulous in selecting blueberries. Regardless of maturity, hardness and origin, there are strict requirements. Only blueberries that meet the requirements can be further selected and further processed in the factory. At the same time, according to the different needs of different customers, we have made different products according to the varieties.
