My understanding is that most berries weren’t farmed until recently because they couldn’t be domesticated like other plants, rather they were typically foraged. I remember reading that initially wild blueberry bushes were simply dug up and replanted. Not certain of the veracity of this, however.

Wheat still generally looks like wild grasses, but like maize its seeds are much larger than you’ll find on wild grasses.
