About Lingon

Lingon, a small red berry native to Scandinavia and Northern Europe, is prized for its tart flavor and versatility in traditional Nordic cuisine. Packed with nutrients, lingonberries are rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and E, and beneficial plant compounds like polyphenols, which can help reduce inflammation and support overall health. They are also high in dietary fiber, promoting healthy digestion. Lingonberries are naturally low in calories but can be tart and acidic, often enjoyed as jams, sauces, or beverages sweetened with added sugar, which may diminish some of their nutritional benefits. These berries have long been a staple in Nordic diets, complementing savory dishes like meatballs or game, and are celebrated for their potential heart health and immunity-boosting properties. However, moderation is key when consumed in processed forms to avoid excess sugar. Fresh lingonberries offer the most health benefits while showcasing their distinct, zesty taste.
