> due to a dominant recessive gene for pigment
I assume this should be "a double recessive gene"? Although looks like a lot of blueberry varieties are not diploid, so...
blueberries without the healthy and beneficial pigment/flavonoids
what a dumb idea
I have a bush of pink blueberries, and I greatly prefer them to the "blue" ones I've also planted. It's a novelty for guests and a nice seasonal treat. Minmaxing the nutritional content of every bit of fruit doesn't seem like a fun way to live.
