Are these really wild blueberries? Or the kind we can buy at any supermarket?

I was thinking as well "Maybe it's the running through the forest to pick them that accounts for the calories burned"

In the acknowledgements they say they used freeze dried wild blueberries given to them by The Wild Blueberry Association of North America.

You can get frozen wild blueberries at the supermarket. They taste better than regular blueberries.

They are labeled "wild" but, how do we know.

They are not cultivated. They are harvested in the wild and they have a different taste than regular blueberries. They are smaller and have more flavor. They are difficult to cultivate, so they are just picked wherever they grow.
