Latin Name : Vaccinium Myrtillus

Origin Country: USA

Vaccinium myrtillus, commonly known as bilberry or European blueberry, is a small deciduous shrub belonging to the Ericaceae family. It is native to Europe, parts of Asia, and North America. The plant produces small, dark blue or black berries that are rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which give the fruit its deep colour. These berries have been traditionally used for both culinary and medicinal purposes. Dried, bilberries tend to have a more concentrated, mildly sour taste. They are often used in jams, jellies, desserts, and herbal teas due to their rich, flavourful profile. Our bilberry berries contain sugar.

– Bilberries are often associated with improved vision and eye health.

– Rich in antioxidants, bilberries help combat oxidative stress in the body.

– Bilberries contain tannins, which have astringent properties that can help reduce diarrhoea and promote digestive health. The fruit is also a good source of dietary fibre, aiding in digestion and promoting gut health.

 

– If you find the dried bilberries too tough, consider soaking them in water, juice, or tea for about 10-15 minutes before using them in recipes. This softens them and enhances their flavour.

– Enjoy dried bilberry berries as a healthy snack on their own and add them to your morning cereal or granola. They pair well with oats and provide a sweet, tangy taste.

– Make smoothies with bilberry berries. Soak them in water or juice for a few minutes before blending to soften them.

– Steep dried bilberries in hot water to make a flavourful herbal tea.

– Bilberry is generally considered safe when consumed in moderate amounts.
