What it is

Bilberry is a small, dark blue berry native to Northern Europe, similar to the blueberry. It is often consumed fresh, dried, or as a juice. The berries are typically harvested from wild bushes and can be processed into various food products.

Why it's used

Bilberry is used as a flavoring and coloring agent in foods and beverages. Its vibrant color and slightly tart, sweet flavor make it a popular addition to teas, juices, jams, and baked goods. It is also found in dietary supplements due to its perceived health benefits.

Health notes

Bilberries are a source of anthocyanins, which are antioxidants. Some research suggests potential benefits for eye health and cardiovascular function, but more robust studies are needed. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated bilberry extracts. In the US, bilberry is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food.
