Bilberry

Bilberries are a primarily Eurasian species of small low-growing shrubs, native to Europe. They are non-climateric fruits with smooth, circular outline at the end opposite the stalk, whereas blueberries retain persistent sepals there.

Bilberries are found in acidic, nutrient-poor soils throughout the temperate and subarctic regions of the world. They have been traditionnaly used for nearly thousand years. 

The bilberry fruit is commonly used in cooking for its delicious taste and high dietary value: this superfood is high in antioxidant-rich flavonoid compounds called anthocyanidins and vitamin C.
