I photographed these yesterday as they grow in my yard! If you don’t know about them, lingonberries are packed with vitamins C and E, tons of dietary fiber, and some awesome antioxidants. Plus, they keep pretty well because they have natural benzoic acid, so I can smash them up and they’ll stay fresh for ages without needing sugar or freezing. To be honest, I usually don’t bother doing that since they’re not my favorite, and there aren’t enough of them to make it worthwhile.

I love lingoberries. A very nice description and photos.
Thanks Thomas, i am not a big fan myself
Our younger daughter loves their jam.
It is good if there is enough sugar
What a beautiful little harvest! ❤️ I love how the bright lingonberries stand out among the autumn colors. Nature truly gives us so many wonderful surprises right in our own yards.
Yes. we are lucky to have wild bilberry, lingonberry and raspberry at our yard.
Beautiful photos even if you don’t eat them!
That is true Anne
Nunca ouvi falar dessa fruta antes. Eu só conheço xarope de groselha, que usamos em muitos tipos de bebidas aqui, porque na minha região não tem essa fruta.
They look tempting but I can’t imagine what they taste like..Incidentally, I just had some sweetened dried cranberries 😄.
Both lingonberry and cranberry have a tangy taste and contain very little sugar than other berries like strawberry and blueberry. Lingonberries are usually a bit less acidic, making them a bit sweeter in taste than cranberries.
I SO loved them in my childhood up your way I still buy jars which have travelled all the way to have with my blood pancakes and blood sausages 🙂 ! Am not helping my purse or climate change but sometimes one has to sin a tad 🙂 !
Yes, that what meany use them for, I don’t eat either.
They’re a lovely cheerful colour, Ritva xx

We don’t have them here. but I’d be interested to try them.
Margaret, for your information both lingonberry and cranberry have a tangy taste and contain very little sugar than other berries like strawberry and blueberry. Lingonberries are usually a bit less acidic, making them a bit sweeter in taste than cranberries. Below, we show how natural cranberry and lingonberry should taste.
Thanks you! Cranberrie, though not grown here are widely available. Lingonberries? Only from IKEA!
Go Ikea 😁
