Bilberries are wild European relatives of the blueberry, long used to support eye health, circulation, and digestion. High in anthocyanins, tannins, and polyphenols, they’re loved for their vibrant colour, tart flavour, and potent antioxidant content. Enjoy as a tea, culinary ingredient, or wellness support for eyes and blood vessels.

Tea: Simmer 1–2 tsp per cup in water for 10 mins. Strain and enjoy hot or cold. Add hibiscus, rosehip, or goji for blended infusions.
Snacking: Chew dried berries as a tart, nutrient-rich snack. A handful is great for energy, eyes, or digestion.

Kombucha: Add to your second ferment for colour, flavour, and a boost of anthocyanins.
Pets: Sprinkle a pinch onto dog food for eye and cardiovascular support. Use cautiously with vet advice.
