Flavor : The fruit has a sweet-tart flavor, making it popular for both culinary and medicinal uses. Common Uses: Culinary Applications : Fresh Consumption : Eaten raw or added to salads, desserts, and breakfast dishes like yogurt and oatmeal. Baking : Used in pies, jams, and other baked goods for their unique flavor. Beverages : Incorporated into smoothies, juices, and herbal teas. Medicinal Uses : Eye Health : Traditionally used to support vision and eye health, particularly in improving night vision and reducing eye strain. Antioxidant Properties : Known for their high antioxidant content, bilberries may help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. Circulatory Health : Some studies suggest that bilberries can improve circulation and vascular health, potentially benefiting conditions like varicose veins. Supplement Form : Bilberry extracts are available as dietary supplements, often marketed for their antioxidant properties and potential health benefits. Precautions: Bilberries are generally safe to consume for most people. However, those taking certain medications, particularly blood thinners, should consult a healthcare provider before using bilberry supplements due to potential interactions.
