BLUEBERRIES
One of the first crops to be seen in the fields of Huelva with little blue, almost purple balls, with that strange dust on their delicate skin, was on the farms of the Garrido family from Moguera.
With their courage and courage, Miguel, José María and Manuel, supported by a great human and professional team that still persists in the production centers, dared to grow and produce these woody shrubs that had a certain similarity with the camarinas of the area. from the beaches of Mazagón. But super blue. Hence its Anglo-Saxon name Blueberry
Like sapphires, the balanced acid-sweet flavor of these FG berries have delighted the markets.
At FG we are looking for early varieties with brix degrees in order to have berries in our offer all year round.
With their explosion of health bombs in each bite, blueberries are installed in FG as an essential product in the range of red fruits and berries of Garrido’s Family.
The cultivation of blueberries is shorter than that of raspberries and strawberries, in this case it is from February to June, only 5 months. In each campaign, we make sure that the blueberries meet the established standards so that they are distributed throughout Spain and the rest of Europe. For the cultivation of our blueberries we use hydroponic plantations, all our blueberry plantations use this method, improving production and the quality of harvesting, thus we achieve the best quality of this fruit.
