Cowberries, also known as lingonberries, are small, red berries native to northern climates, particularly Scandinavia, Russia, and Canada. These tart fruits are rich in antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, which help reduce inflammation and combat free radicals in the body. Cowberries are low in calories and high in vitamins C, A, and E, along with essential nutrients like manganese and fiber, which support digestion and overall health. Their natural acidity makes them a staple in Nordic cuisine, often used in jams, sauces, and baked goods, or as a tangy complement to savory dishes like game meats. While cowberries are celebrated for their health benefits, some processed products, such as lingonberry syrups or sweetened jams, may contain added sugars, which can diminish their nutritional value. For optimal health benefits, they’re best enjoyed fresh or minimally processed.
