Frozen blueberries are convenient and cheaper than fresh ones because you can buy them in bulk and store them for months in your freezer compartment. I often buy fresh and frozen berries, and store the frozen ones for when my fresh berries are finished.
Yes, you can buy fresh berries and freeze them yourself however, fresh berries usually come in smaller quantities so I prefer to buy large batches of frozen berries and smaller batches of the fresh kind.
I use my frozen blueberries to make sorbet, smoothies and healthy pies.
