Tag: Crowberry

According to the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, crowberries can contain significantly more vitamin C and triple the fiber of bilberries (a type of blueberry), confirming that crowberries are not the same as blueberries. While they may look similar at first glance, these two small, dark berries have distinct botanical differences and nutritional profiles that savvy foragers and home chefs should know.

Although sometimes mistaken for one another, crowberries and blueberries belong to different plant genera and have distinct characteristics, despite both being found in northern ecosystems. While the blueberry is a well-known grocery store staple, the crowberry is a lesser-known wild fruit celebrated in arctic regions for its unique properties and resilience.
