Product Description

Bilberry fruit is used in tea blends and to make wines and fruit drinks. Like its American cousins — huckleberry, cranberry and blueberry — bilberry fruit can be made into jam or baked in breads, cakes, cobblers and pies. Bilberry is native to Europe and North America, it is a shrub that grows up to 16 inches and has oval leaves with small pink or white flowers and berries that turn purplish-black. It grows best in moist soil and when ready, the fruit and leaves are harvested in the summer months.
