Great Value Frozen Blueberries, 48 oz (3 lb) Family Size Bag
Our Great Value Frozen Blueberries bring you premium-quality fruit picked at peak ripeness and flash-frozen to lock in nutrients and flavor. Each 48-ounce (3 lb) family-size bag contains plump, sweet blueberries with no added sugar, preservatives, or artificial ingredients—just 100% real fruit.
Whether you’re blending morning smoothies, baking cobblers and muffins, or topping yogurt and oatmeal, these berries deliver consistent quality at a fraction of the cost of fresh. We source from trusted North American farms and use IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) technology so berries don’t clump together. The resealable bag keeps your blueberries fresh in the freezer for months, and the generous 600-gram-plus portion size means you’ll always have berries on hand for your family’s favorite recipes.
What makes our frozen blueberries special
Nutritional Benefits & Quality Standards
Great Value Frozen Blueberries retain up to 90% of the antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber found in fresh berries thanks to our flash-freezing process within hours of harvest. Each serving provides powerful anthocyanins—the plant compounds responsible for blueberries’ deep blue color and brain-health benefits.
Our 600-gram-plus family bag delivers approximately 12 half-cup servings, with each serving containing just 70 calories, 4 grams of natural fiber, and 15% of your daily vitamin C needs. We maintain strict quality controls from farm to freezer, testing every batch for pesticide residues and ensuring berries meet our size, color, and sweetness standards. Unlike some store brands, we never add sugar, syrups, or preservatives—what you get is pure fruit.
Storage, Thawing & Recipe Ideas
Store your Great Value Frozen Blueberries at 0°F (-18°C) or below in the original resealable bag. Properly stored, they maintain peak quality for 12-18 months, though they remain safe to eat indefinitely when kept frozen. After opening, press out excess air and reseal tightly to prevent freezer burn.
Thawing Methods
For smoothies and baking, use berries straight from the freezer—no thawing needed. For fresh-berry texture in parfaits or as toppings, thaw in the refrigerator overnight or microwave on defrost for 60-90 seconds. Expect some juice release during thawing; drain if desired or incorporate the nutrient-rich liquid into your recipe.
Why Choose Frozen Over Fresh
While fresh blueberries shine during peak summer season, frozen berries offer year-round consistency, extended shelf life, and significant cost savings. Fresh blueberries can lose up to 25% of their antioxidants within a week of harvest, whereas our flash-frozen berries capture nutrients at their peak.
The Great Value 48 oz bag provides the same volume as three pint containers of fresh berries at roughly half the cost, with zero waste from spoilage. Frozen berries eliminate the need to wash, sort, and use within days—simply measure what you need and return the rest to the freezer. For families who use berries several times per week, the convenience and value proposition is unmatched.

Questions About Great Value Frozen Blueberries
A 48-ounce bag contains approximately 6 cups or 12 half-cup servings of frozen blueberries. The bag weighs just over 600 grams per pound, translating to about 3 pounds total. Because frozen berries are denser than fresh, you may find slight variation depending on how tightly you pack the measuring cup, but 6 cups is the standard conversion for recipe planning.
No. Our frozen blueberries contain only one ingredient: blueberries. We use no added sugar, syrups, preservatives, artificial colors, or flavoring agents. The berries are flash-frozen immediately after harvest to preserve natural sweetness and nutrients without the need for additives.
Yes. For muffins, pancakes, cobblers, and most baked goods, use Great Value Frozen Blueberries straight from the freezer. Toss them in a tablespoon of flour before folding into batter to prevent sinking and minimize color bleeding. Frozen berries help baked goods stay moist and hold their shape better than thawed berries. Add 2-3 minutes to baking time if the recipe calls for fresh berries.
When stored at 0°F (-18°C) or below in the original resealable bag, our frozen blueberries maintain best quality for 12-18 months from the date of purchase. They remain safe to eat indefinitely when kept frozen, though flavor and texture are optimal within that timeframe. After opening, press out excess air and reseal tightly to prevent freezer burn.
Yes. All Great Value Frozen Blueberries are thoroughly washed and inspected before flash-freezing. However, we still recommend giving them a quick rinse under cold water after thawing if you plan to eat them without cooking, as this removes any residual ice crystals and refreshes the berries. For smoothies and baking, rinsing is not necessary.
Great Value Frozen Blueberries (this product) are cultivated highbush berries—larger, sweeter, and milder in flavor. Our <a href=”/great-value-frozen-wild-blueberries-32oz/”>Wild Blueberries</a> are smaller lowbush berries with more intense, tangy flavor and higher antioxidant concentration. Wild berries work beautifully in baked goods where you want concentrated flavor, while cultivated berries are ideal for smoothies, toppings, and recipes where you prefer larger, sweeter fruit. Both are 100% blueberries with no additives.
While safe to refreeze if they’ve been thawed in the refrigerator and held at 40°F or below, we don’t recommend it for quality reasons. Refreezing causes ice crystals to form, breaking down cell structure and resulting in mushy texture when thawed again. If you’ve thawed more berries than needed, use them within 3-5 days in the refrigerator, or cook them into compote or jam rather than refreezing.
