What specifically, is the nutritional difference between Wild & cultivated organic & non-organic blueberries?
You can provide an online reference article if you wish. I am a detail orientated person.
Thank you.

There are significant differences in the level of a variety of antioxidants between organic and non-organic plant foods. Here is one study from 2014: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24968103
There are also studies on differences in organic v. non-organic eggs, dairy, and meats.

My question is regarding the differences between WILD & Cultivated as well as organic and non-organic blueberries.

Do you mean berries that you are finding in the wild versus growing in a garden? It is hard to know what has or has not been treated by any pesticides when we come upon blueberries in the wild, however, I do not know of specific studies on the differences in nutrition between those grown in the wild versus in a garden. Much would have to do with soil nutrients and contaminants.

What stimulated this thread was a recent Amen Clinic email that featured ‘Brain Berries’. The report was about Wild Blueberries that were dubbed ‘brain berries’. The article did not deal with any comparisons, but I was curious about how they compare in terms of nutrient values.
We shop at a local ‘organic market’ that offers frozen “wild blueberries” from Maine that we have purchased on occasion. They also feature ‘organic blueberries’ that are much larger than the ‘wild’ variety and a bit sweeter. The sweeter taste may be due to the fact that antioxidants are reported to be rather bitter and the least appealing nutrient in terms of flavor.
