Bilberry

Vaccinium myrtillus | Eye Wellness · Circulation · Antioxidant-Rich · Naturally Caffeine-Free

Tastes like: like a wild blueberry tea — fruity, gently tart, and a little earthy. The cup turns a gorgeous deep purple.

Before there were blue-light glasses, there was bilberry. This small wild European berry has been part of traditional European use since at least the 16th century, and it became a legend when stories spread of British pilots eating bilberry jam during World War II. That story helped spark decades of research.

Bilberry is one of the richest fruit sources of anthocyanins, the deep blue-purple pigments with antioxidant activity that give it its color.* Researchers have explored bilberry's relationship to healthy eyes and healthy circulation.*
