Tag: Fruit microbiome

Scientific studies have confirmed that blueberries are naturally covered in a diverse community of microorganisms, including various types of wild yeast. This wild yeast, often appearing as a whitish 'bloom', plays a key role in the fruit's natural ecosystem and potential for fermentation.

An average apple can contain over 100 million bacteria, with a large concentration residing in the core and seeds. The question of what fruits have the most bacteria depends less on the fruit type and more on its journey from farm to table and how it is handled.
