Known as the “blueberry of Europe,” bilberries are prized as delicious and nutritious, and are used in various jams and desserts. What most don’t know is that the leaves can also be used to make a light and nutritious herbal tea. What makes this berry so phenomenal is that it contains naturally producing chemicals known as anthocyanosides, found abundantly in a number of purple, blue, and red berries and purple colored vegetables. These plant pigments contain powerful antioxidant properties, which scavenge the body for free radicals, with the intention of helping to prevent or reverse damaged cells.
