(Wolimidwa) mabulosi abuluu amasiyana ndi mabulosi abuluu, ngakhale mawonekedwe a zipatsowo ndi ofanana kwambiri. Komabe, onsewa ali amtundu umodzi: Vaccinium ndi mtundu wamtundu wa heather (bot. Ericaceae) ndipo mitundu yofikira 500 imapezeka kwambiri kumpoto kwa dziko lapansi. Zipatso zake zazing'ono, zakuda zabuluu zimadziwika ndi kukoma kotsekemera ngati mabulosi ndikutulutsa madzi ofiira akuda.
Mitundu iwiriyi, yomwe nthawi zambiri imaphatikizidwa kukhala mabulosi amodzi, imakhala ndi izi:
Mabulosi a buluu aku America kapena olimidwa (Vaccinium corymbosum) ali ndi zipatso zazikulu - mpaka 3 cm, thupi lopepuka, zipatso zolimba. Mabulosi abuluu olimidwa amachokera ku North America ndipo akhala akugwiritsidwa ntchito kumeneko kwa nthawi yayitali ngati ma blueberries a m'nkhalango ku Europe. Kusiyana kwakukulu ndi iyi: Iwo samapaka utoto. Mabulosi abuluu olimidwa sakhala abuluu mkati ndipo ngakhale khungu lili ndi ma pigment ochepa (anthocyanins).
Zipatso za blueberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) zimakhala ndi zipatso zing'onozing'ono, mpaka 1 cm, zomwe zimakhala zabuluu woderapo chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa pigment mkati mwa chipatsocho. Mitunduyi imapezeka ku Europe konse, komwe kumatha kudziwika ndi mayina monga French "myrtille" kapena Italian "mirtillo". Pano, komabe, moyo wa alumali ndi wochepa kwambiri chifukwa chosowa kulimba kwa chipatso. Ngakhale mabulosi abuluu a m'nkhalango amatha kusonkhanitsidwa m'nkhalango zocheperako pakati pa Juni ndi Seputembala, mabulosi abuluu olimidwa amapezeka chaka chonse ngati kuchokera kunja kapena kuchokera kumayiko ena.
Monga lamulo, zipatsozo zimadyedwa mwatsopano, mwachitsanzo ndi mkaka kapena yoghuti, kapena zimagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga compotes. Mukhozanso kugwiritsa ntchito njira yathu yopangira kupanikizana kwa mabulosi abulu kuti mupange zipatso zabwino kwambiri. Mabulosi abuluu ndi oyeneranso makeke, zikondamoyo kapena zokometsera zosiyanasiyana monga ma muffin a mabulosi abulu, clafoutis kapena zikondamoyo zabuluu. Zipatso zakuda zimapatsa buluu smoothie mtundu wamphamvu ndi fungo la mabulosi. Zipatso zosamva kupsinjika ziyenera kuyikidwa pa mbale ndikuzitsuka pang'ono musanamwe ndikuzipaka mosamala ndi thaulo lakukhitchini.
Ngati mukufuna kusonkhanitsa blueberries nokha, muyenera kukhala odziwa bwino. Apo ayi, pali chiopsezo cha chisokonezo ndi otchedwa bog bilberry kapena chidakwa. Izi ndi za mtundu wa blueberries, koma mosiyana ndi bilberries kapena blueberries, zingayambitse kuledzera ndi zizindikiro za poizoni.
