The Delite Blueberry plant is a berry that ripens in late June and July, and occasionally the berries will maintain a pinkish or red tinge even when fully ripen and this blueberry is excellent to use in making blueberry marmalade or jam. Because of the delicious flavor the Delite blueberry is preferred to be eaten fresh. Because blueberries are rich in antioxidants they extend lives by neutralizing harmful free radicals that are believed to damage the heart and initiate malignant cancer cells. A home gardener can gather several buckets of Delite blueberries during the ripening season which is an advantage to those who want to extend the season for eating fresh blueberries.
