Blueberry nectars contain juice from wild or cultivated blueberries ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccinium_myrtillus wikipedia]). EU legislation requires a minimum of 40% blueberry fraction and a maximum of 99%.

The category has been subdivided in [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/squeezed-blueberry-nectars Squeezed blueberry nectars], for juices that come straight from blueberries, and [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/concentrated-blueberry-nectars Blueberry nectars from concentrate] for juice that has been first dehydrated and later hydrated.

There might be a difference between the American blueberry and the European blueberry. Current products are mostly the European one.

There is often confusion in Spanish between the '''arándano (silvestre)''' and '''arándano rojo ('''the cranberry''')''' and thus misplaced in this category.
