Mustikkaa, known as bilberries in English, are small blue-black berries native to Scandinavia and other forested regions of Northern Europe. Often mistaken for blueberries, these wild berries have a more intense flavor and a deeper nutritional profile. They are rich in vitamins C and E, making them potent antioxidants that help combat free radical damage and support immune function. Mustikkaa are also packed with dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting heart health. Their anthocyanin content, responsible for their vibrant color, has been linked to improved vision and reduced inflammation. Traditionally used in Finnish cuisine, these berries are a staple in pies, jams, and porridges or enjoyed fresh during summer harvests. Low in calories and naturally sweet, they are a healthy choice, though high amounts of added sugar in processed versions may reduce their benefits.
