Lingonberry powder

Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea)

Lingonberry, which also goes by the name of mountain cranberry, is as modest but efficient as a Nordic berry can be. The joyful little red pill grows in mats over green moss and under tall and dark pine trees. It has a refreshing tang in its taste and with its great qualities, lingonberry endures the stark autumnal weather.

Add nutrition to yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, baking or as decoration in desserts, ice creams, spice up your cereals, salads, dressings with our powerful berry powders.

Lingonberries are rich in vitamin E and manganese. They are a good source of dietary fiber. Lingonberry's antioxidants - different polyphenols such as lignans, proanthocyanidins, stilbenes, resveratrol and quercetin, which are being researched intensively - strengthen the immune system. The amount of resveratrol in lingonberries is similar to that found in the key ingredient of red wine, dark grapes.
