About this deal

Canter, Peter H; Ernst, Edzard (2004). "Anthocyanosides of Vaccinium myrtillus (Bilberry) for Night Vision—A Systematic Review of Placebo-Controlled Trials". Survey of Ophthalmology. 49 (1): 38–50. doi: 10.1016/j.survophthal.2003.10.006. ISSN 0039-6257. PMID 14711439. Bilberries ( / ˈ b ɪ l b ə r i/) or blueberries are a primarily Eurasian species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium (family Ericaceae), bearing edible, dark blue berries. The species most often referred to is Vaccinium myrtillus L., but there are several other closely related species. Chan SW, Tomlinson B. Effects of bilberry supplementation on metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk. Molecules. 2020;25(7):1653. doi:10.3390/molecules25071653 As hedgerows are damaged or cleared away, the prospect of the fraughan harvest diminishes with each passing year. The annual festival of Fraughan Sunday is observed in very few places today, and Lughnasa's popularity relies on resurgent interest in old Celtic cross-quarter day festivals. Vitruvius, lib. 7. of his Architecture doth also distinguish Vaccinium from the Violet, and shew∣eth, that of it is made a gallant purple; which seeing that the written Hyacinth cannot do, it must needs be that this Vaccinium is another thing than the Hyacinth is, because it serues to giue a pur∣ple dye.

Exmoor whortleberries are hardy shrubs that can grow up to 30 cm in height and produce bright green leaves that turn glossy, deep green in maturity. The flowers are pinkish-red and bloom in late spring to early summer, while the fruit develops from late summer to early autumn. Exmoor whortleberries are characterized by their purple-blue edible berries, which are approximately the size of small marbles and are sweet and juicy. Vaccinium myrtillus is a Holarctic species native to continental Northern Europe, the British Isles, north and central Asia, Japan, Greenland, Iceland, Western Canada, and the Western United States. It occurs in the acidic soils of heaths, boggy barrens, degraded meadows, open forests and parklands, slopes, and moraines. [9] [10] Uses [ edit ] The flowers are borne singly in leaf axils on 5⁄ 64– 1⁄ 8in) long pedicels. The corolla is pink and shaped like an urn. The leaves are finely toothed and prominently veined on the lower surface. Phillipps, K. C. (1993). A Glossary of the Cornish Dialect. Padstow: Tabb House. p.57. ISBN 0-907018-91-2. Vaccinium myrtillus is a small deciduous shrub that grows 4–18in (10–46cm) tall. It has light green leaves that turn red in autumn and are simple and alternate in arrangement. [3] Leaves are 0.4–1.2in (1.0–3.0cm) long and ovate to lanceolate or broadly elliptic in shape. [3] Common names [ edit ]I don’t need to wax lyrical about apples as everyone who has ever been near a grocery or supermarket is familiar with them. That said, modern cultivars are large, juicy and sweet. Wild apples tend to be small, hard and very, very sour. Try a true crab apple and, to quote a friend of mine, “it’ll turn your face inside out!”. Crab and feral apples do contain a good amount of pectin though, which will help set any jam or jelly. So, if you are out and about foraging for other berries, don’t forget the apples… Crab and other feral apples can be gathered for their pectin and added to other fruits to make some great jams or jellies.

I should not know the atropa-belladonna if I saw them as the man had offered them—they are stripped off the small leaf, which is something of the acorn cut—he was a harmless, inoffensive man—there is no distinction between the bilberry and the wortle-berry—he calls them hoccle-berries—there are no such things as nettle-berries.

The Exmoor whortleberry is not only a delicious wild fruit but also a valuable medicinal plant with many benefits for human health. Its unique flavor and nutritional content make it a valuable addition to various food items, while its medicinal properties have been utilized for centuries. Therefore, it is essential to protect its natural habitat and promote cultivation for the long-term sustainability of the plant. Although bilberries are in high demand by consumers in Northern Europe, the berries are harvested in the wild without any cultivation. Some authors state that opportunities exist to improve the crop if cultivated using common agricultural practices. [13] [ bettersourceneeded] Bilberries have dark red juice that stains hands Chemistry [ edit ]It’s generally recommended the berries shouldn’t be consumed raw, though, certainly not in any great quantity. All green parts of the plant, including the berries, are mildly irritant as well as containing cyanogenic glycosides. There is also a distinctive and somewhat unpleasant sharp smell to the crushed leaves or shoots. Eating quantities of raw berries, particularly if a little unripe, can cause stomach upsets, including nausea and vomiting. The problematic compounds are nullified by heat, so cooking the fruit is always recommended. Strip the berries off the stalks (a fork is handy for this job), discarding the latter. Jams made from mixing the fruit with gooseberries are particularly good. Rowan

In Sweden this berry is called lingon, where a pleasant cordial made from the berries is available. The unpleasant taste of the raw berries comes from the presence of both benzoic acid and oxalic acid. Cowberry or lingon has been an important wild berry for people of the north.
