The blueberry is just a little bit smaller than a golf ball
This giant fruit has broken the Guinness World Record as the world's heaviest blueberry.
It weighs in at 20.4 grams, which is at least six times heavier than a normal blueberry that can typically weigh anywhere between one and three grams.
It was grown by Australia's largest berry producer, Costa Berries, and was picked in November.
Brad Hocking from the company said: "It's a combination of good breeding and good growing. We all look at it occasionally and smile."
