Wildcrafted Bilberries
Wildcrafted bilberries, also known as European blueberries (Vaccinium myrtillus), grow in the wild and are significantly smaller than their cultivated counterparts (i.e., blueberries). They have a darker, almost black skin and deep purple flesh; their flavour is more intense, fruity and often slightly tart; and they are richer in nutrients and contain more antioxidants, such as anthocyanins. However, their cultivation is seasonal, making them harder to find.
