Bilberry Nutritional value
The bilberry has extremely high nutritional value. Bilberries are nature’s own vitamin, mineral and polyphenol pills. Polyphenols are produced by forest plants to protect their berries from pests, the sun’s UV radiation and other environmental hazards. Nature’s own regulation system has developed these protective substances for berries over thousands of years. Humans change this system through cultivation. Fertilisers make the berries larger in size. The use of plant protection products reduces the production of the plants’ own protective substances.
The bilberry contains little energy. Bilberries do not contain saturated fat and are good for low-fat diets. Bilberries also contain vitamin E, and are a source of fibre. Arctic bilberries are a superior source of polyphenols. Unlike the cultivated highbush blueberry, the bilberry is blue both inside and out. The bilberry contains several times more flavonoids and anthocyanins than the cultivated highbush blueberry.
