Here in California, we get lots of tastey, locally grown blueberries in the summer,, but in the winter months the stores import them from Florida, Argentina, and Chile. I tried the Florida and Argentina ones in December and they were tasteless as can be. The Chile blueberries are usually good.
In fact, I bought some today at Trader Joe's - organic blueberries from Chile, and they are as flavorful and firm as locally summer grown - and at a very good price - $3.49 for an 11 oz. container. Not sure if the organic is relevant or not but I'm sticking with it.
