It's official, the world's largest blueberry has weighed in at an impressive 20.4 grams.
The massive berry was grown at Costa’s berry farm in Corindi, New South Wales, Australia.
It was picked back in November last year and put on ice awaiting to be officially recognised.
This week it was certified by Guinness World Records as the heaviest ever recorded.
According to the Costa Group, the blueberry was from the Eterna variety, as part of Costa’s Variety Improvement Program (VIP), which licenses Costa bred blueberry varieties in regions including the Americas, Morocco, China, and south east Africa.
Costa Berries International Horticulture Manager George Jessett was confident about the new blueberry variety's future.
“We are always looking to develop new varieties that improve on the current benchmark and meet evolving customer requirements.
"We are also looking to breed varieties that are more adaptable to hotter climates, are more drought tolerant and with better resistance against pest and disease pressure."
The previous world record was for a 16.20g berry grown in Western Australia in 2020.
