Arctic wild bilberries are growing in the clean forests of northern Finland, enjoying the soft rays of the midnight sun. The Arctic bilberry is handpicked and grows ecologically, with no carbon or water footprint.
The name “Arctic wild bilberry” is needed to help consumers avoid mistakes in the market. It is good to know that the Arctic wild bilberry is very different from the cultivated blueberry sold everywhere.
Unlike cultivated blueberries, Arctic wild bilberries are dark blue on the outside and inside. Because of the high anthocyanin content, their flesh is fruity and violet. Wild bilberries are a superior source of polyphenols and antioxidants.
The anthocyanin levels of Arctic wild bilberries are high when compared with other berries. It contains anthocyanins at a level that is 3–5 times higher than that of the highbush cultivated blueberry. Anthocyanins are bioactive compounds, which give the Arctic bilberry its characteristic dark blue or purple color inside and out.
Compared with the cultivated highbush blueberry, the Arctic wild bilberries are smaller in size. Wild Bilberries grow individually on the branches of a ramified shrub that reaches 10–40 cm in height.
The skin of the Arctic wild bilberry is dark blue, waxy and soft, and it breaks fairly easily. The difference in flesh color between the wild bilberry and blueberry is visible, since the flesh of the highbush cultivated blueberry is white.
The water-soluble color of Finnish wild bilberry takes very easily on the skin or clothes. Highbush blueberry is a non-staining. You can test the authenticity of Quantacell67 wild bilberry powder on your tongue. If it becomes dark blue color after consumption, then is the real thing!
