Health Benefits

Wild blueberries have been used for centuries as a medicinal herb to cure many kinds of diseases. In traditional medicine, the wild blueberry has been used to strengthen and widen the blood vessels and lower blood pressure.

Blueberries are also known to have strong antibacterial properties. Scientists who have researched the wild blueberry say it can even prevent some nervous system disorders, strengthen memory, and delay aging.

Wild blueberries have a high anthocyanin content and are a powerful source of polyphenols and antioxidants. The anthocyanin in bilberries supports the normal functioning of the immune system, neuronal and cognitive brain functions, and ocular health.

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells against age-induced oxidative stress. Potassium contributes to maintaining normal blood pressure, the normal functioning of the nervous system. The amino acids provide a peaceful sleep.

Wild blueberries have long been considered to be the revitalisers of tired eyes, protecting the optic nerve and retinal cells. Blueberries are especially beneficial for people who suffer from night blindness or light sensitivity.

The blueberry is also known for its ability to regulate digestion.

Organic wild blueberry powder is very fine and mixes easily in smoothies, yogurt, porridge, cereal, muesli and protein shakes or use it in other recipes. For greater nutritional benefit we recommend ingesting 1-2 tbsp a day for 2-3 weeks.

Source & Nutrition

• HANDPICKED AND WILD-CRAFTED FROM NORDIC FORESTS. More thanhalf of the land in Estonia and Finland is covered by pristine and fruitful forests. Finland has the world's largest certified organic wild food collecting areas. In mid-summer, there are 19 hours of daylight. This creates the formation of anthocyanin compounds and wild blueberries form extremely high levels of antioxidants. Nordic bilberries are nature's own vitamin, mineral, and polyphenol pills. They are a true natural superfood!

• LAB TESTED - HIGH IN ANTIOXIDANTS. Wild blueberries have a high anthocyanin content and are a powerful source of polyphenols and antioxidants. The anthocyanin in bilberries supports the normal functioning of the immune system, neuronal and cognitive brain functions, and ocular health. Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells against age-induced oxidative stress. Potassium contributes to maintaining normal blood pressure and the normal functioning of the nervous system.
  

• GENUINE, FRESH, NATURAL TASTE AND COLOUR. Freeze-drying is the best method to preserve the natural taste, colour, and aroma of the berry. Organic bilberry powder is sweet and purple or dark violet in colour. Unlike cultivated blueberries, wild blueberries are dark blue both on the outside and in. Because of the berry's high antioxidant content, their flesh is fruity and violet. Wild blueberries contain several times more flavonoids and four times as much anthocyanin than cultivated blueberries.

Use & Storage

• VERY FINE IN TEXTURE, EASY TO MIX AND USE. The organic freeze-dried wild blueberry powder is very fine and tastes like real wild blueberries. It mixes easily in smoothies, yoghurt, porridge, cereal flakes, muesli, and protein shakes. Tastes great in baked goods (muffins, cakes, etc.). Works well as a natural food colour. Please note that as the freeze-dried blueberry extract is made of whole organic wild blueberries and nothing else, the powder (like fresh berries) will not dissolve in water.

• 90 g of organic wild blueberry powder = 700 g of fresh organic wild blueberries. Organic wild blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) powder is made of whole bilberries. Contains the pulp, seeds, and skin of the berries. The organic blueberry powder is a pure and natural form of supplement valued due to its extremely high anthocyanin content. In industrial usage, some active ingredients can be extracted from bilberries to make dietary supplements. Perfect substitute for fresh or frozen blueberries.
