The fruit is also an excellent source of many essential vitamins, such as C and E. Vitamin C helps your immune system function properly and can help prevent and treat the common cold, depression, scurvy, skin infections, and many other conditions. Lingonberries also contain Vitamin E, which can strengthen muscles and treat diseases like diabetes, epilepsy, heart failure, and pregnancy complications.

Lingonberries can be found fresh from late summer through early winter at farmer’s markets near the Arctic Circle and in some places like Canada year-round.

Because lingonberries are rather bitter they are seldom served on their own. Instead they are usually transformed into rårörda lingon (literally, raw stirred lingonberries). It is very easy to make: Then carefully remove the jars from the pot and allow them to cool. Store in a cool dark place without the rings. The berries are an important food for bears and foxes, and many fruit-eating birds. Caterpillars of the case-bearer moths Coleophora glitzella, Coleophora idaeella and Coleophora vitisella are obligate feeders on V. vitis-idaea leaves.

Drinking cranberry juice or eating cranberries can inhibit the bacteria which causes urinary tract infections. Lingonberries are one of the few other natural sources of proanthocyanidines and it is believed they would have the same effect on infections of the urinary tract as their more illustrious cousin.Further research in humans is needed to verify the potential anti-obesity effects of lingonberries and to determine the amount needed to reap this benefit. Summary Typically found in Scandinavia, Lingonberries grow best within nearby Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Finland. Brain health: Rodent studies suggest that lingonberries or their extract may improve brain function, including memory when under stress. Test-tube analyses imply that the berries’ antioxidants protect brain cells ( 46, 47, 48). International Journal of Molecular Sciences: "Lingonberrry (Vaccinium vitis-ideaea L.) Fruit as a Source of Bioactive Compounds with Health-Promoting Effects—A Review."

Ho, G. T. T., et al. (2017). Enhanced glucose uptake in human liver cells and inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes by nordic berry extracts. You may be wondering if you should leave your other berries for the amazing benefits of the lingonberry. Variety is always a good thing since different foods provide different benefits — however, the benefits of the lingonberry against the blueberry or the the bilberry, for example, are pretty similar. Similarly, when healthy women ate 2/3 cup (150 grams) of pureed lingonberries with about 3 tablespoons (35 grams) of sugar, their peak insulin after eating was 17% lower compared to a control group who ate the sugar without lingonberries ( 27). However, there’s something to be said about the original method, which is without any sugar, substituting honey instead. And since there’s a good bit of benzoic acid with the berries, they’re able to keep well. Anthocyanins: The rich, red coloring of lingonberries comes from anthocyanins, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.We also did an analysis based on the assumption that women who dropped out of the intervention groups subsequently had a urinary tract infection whereas those who left the control group did not, but the differences in the occurrence of the first urinary tract infection remained significant (P=0.046 at 12 months). After we standardised for age, history of urinary tract infection, antimicrobial use, intercourse frequency, and fluid intake at the start of the study, the only explaining variable for the prevention of recurrences was cranberry juice (P=0.019, Cox regression analysis). When it comes to lingonberry dishes, the question on everyone’s mind is whether they can eat them raw. Hoornstra, D., et al. (2018). Fermented lingonberry juice inhibits oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma invasion in vitrosimilarly to curcumin. I have suffered my fair share of tooth and gum disease over the past decade or so and there really is nothing more miserable. Periodontal diseases usually occur as a result of chronic infection or inflammation in the gums; these infections weaken the teeth and cause intense discomfort and pain.

Control weight.A trial conducted on mice found that lingonberries can prevent many adverse effects caused by a high-fat diet. For example, mice who ate lingonberries avoided developing elevated glucose levels, high cholesterol, and visceral fat gain. You’ve probably heard of cranberry juice offering relief for symptoms of urinary tract infection, but the lingonberry may be another great option. According to studies based out of Cornell University, there are wild and American lingonberries, along with the European lingonberry. The American or wild lingonberry plant typically produces one crop per year in the summer, while the European version produces two and ranges from two to 16 inches in height with branches three to four inches long.Results indicate that the antimicrobial characteristics of lingonberries can help reduce the risk of bacteria forming in the mouth.
