Great Value Frozen Blueberries, 48 oz (3 lb)
Our Great Value Frozen Blueberries bring farm-fresh flavor to your table year-round. Each 48 oz bag contains premium whole blueberries picked at peak ripeness and flash-frozen to lock in nutrients and taste. With approximately 600 calories per bag, you’re getting pure fruit nutrition without added sugars or preservatives.
We source our blueberries from trusted growers and individually quick freeze (IQF) each berry so they stay separate and ready to use.

The resealable bag keeps berries fresh in your freezer for months.
What’s inside every 48 oz bag
Nutrition & Quality Standards
Every bag of our frozen blueberries contains approximately 600 calories of whole fruit nutrition distributed across the full 48 oz package. Each serving (about 1 cup or 140g) provides roughly 70 calories, making it easy to manage portions for your dietary needs.
We freeze our blueberries within hours of harvest to preserve their natural antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins. The flash-freezing process maintains the berries’ cellular structure better than traditional freezing methods, so you get fruit that tastes fresh when thawed. Our blueberries contain no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives — just pure fruit picked at peak sweetness.
How to Use Your Frozen Blueberries
Our IQF blueberries are kitchen-ready straight from the freezer. For smoothies and shakes, add frozen berries directly to your blender — they’ll thicken your drink and keep it cold without watering it down. No pre-thawing needed.
For baking applications like muffins, pancakes, or cobblers, you can fold frozen berries directly into batters. The cold berries help prevent color bleeding and maintain their shape during cooking. If a recipe specifically calls for thawed berries, simply measure your portion and let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, or microwave on defrost for 30-second intervals.
Storage & Shelf Life
Proper Freezer Storage
Keep your Great Value Frozen Blueberries in their original resealable bag and store them at 0°F (-18°C) or below. The zipper-lock closure allows you to remove only what you need while keeping the rest protected from freezer burn. When stored properly, frozen blueberries maintain optimal quality for up to 12-18 months.
After opening, always press out excess air before resealing the bag. This minimizes ice crystal formation and preserves texture. If you notice any freezer burn (white, dry-looking patches), the berries are still safe to eat but may have slightly diminished flavor — they’re perfect for baking or smoothies where texture is less critical.

Questions About Great Value Frozen Blueberries
Each 48 oz bag of Great Value Frozen Blueberries contains approximately 600 total calories. This breaks down to about 70 calories per 1-cup serving, with roughly 9 servings per bag. The calorie count comes entirely from the natural sugars and carbohydrates in the blueberries themselves — we add no sugar or other ingredients.
For most uses, no thawing is required. Add frozen blueberries directly to smoothies, or fold them frozen into pancake and muffin batters. For applications where you need thawed berries (like fresh fruit salads or certain pie fillings), simply let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or microwave on defrost in 30-second intervals until softened.
Our Great Value Frozen Blueberries are conventionally grown using trusted agricultural partners who follow Good Agricultural Practices. We do offer an organic frozen blueberry option in our Great Value Organic line if you’re specifically looking for USDA Organic certified fruit.
When stored at 0°F or below in the original resealable bag, our frozen blueberries maintain optimal quality for 12-18 months. The berries remain safe to eat beyond this timeframe, but may develop freezer burn or lose some flavor intensity. Always press out excess air and reseal tightly after each use.
We don’t recommend refreezing previously thawed blueberries. The freeze-thaw-refreeze cycle breaks down the berry’s cellular structure, resulting in mushy texture and potential food safety concerns. Instead, thaw only the portion you plan to use within 3-5 days and keep the rest frozen in the original bag.
IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) means each blueberry is frozen separately before packaging, so they don’t clump together in one solid block. This allows you to pour out exactly the amount you need without thawing the entire bag. Regular frozen fruit is often frozen in bulk, creating large frozen masses that are harder to portion.
Our Great Value Frozen Blueberries are cultivated (highbush) blueberries, which are larger and sweeter than wild (lowbush) varieties. Cultivated blueberries work better for most recipes and provide consistent size and flavor. If you’re specifically seeking wild blueberries for a traditional recipe, check our seasonal selection or specialty frozen fruit section.
