It was grown in Corindi, New South Wales, Australia, by staff at blueberry grower Costa Group.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            It is from the Eterna variety, which senior horticulturalist Brad Hocking said is known for its large fruit size, crisp texture and long shelf life, according to a statement from the company published Tuesday.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            \u201cEterna as a variety has a really great flavour and consistently large fruit.\u00a0When we picked this one, there were probably around 20 other berries of a similar size,\u201d Hocking said in the statement.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            The previous record for heaviest blueberry was held by a 16.20-gram (0.57-ounce) berry grown in Western Australia in 2020, according to Costa, which develops new varieties of blueberries that can be grown in different conditions.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            \u201cThis really is a delightful piece of fruit,\u201d said Hocking in the statement. \u201cWhile the fruit is large, there\u2019s absolutely no compromise on quality or flavour as would be expected when developing a premium variety blueberry.\u201d    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            Other notable fruits that appear in the Guinness World Records include a strawberry weighing 289 grams (10 ounces), grown by Israeli farmer Chahi Ariel, which earned the record for world\u2019s heaviest strawberry in February 2022.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            And in August 2019 a monster grapefruit broke two records and became the world\u2019s heaviest and largest grapefruit by circumference.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">            Weighing more than 7 pounds 14 ounces and measuring 28.75 inches, it was about the size of a regulation basketball and weighed as much as a baby or a chihuahua.    <\/p>\n\n<div>This post appeared first on cnn.com<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A giant blueberry that tips the scales at a whopping 20.4 grams (0.71 ounces) officially entered the record books this week.
