About Cranberry, low bush or lingenberry, raw (Alaska Native)

The lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), also called the cowberry, is a small, bright red berry that grows on low evergreen shrubs across the cool forests of Scandinavia, Northern Europe, and North America. Closely related to the cranberry, it shares a similar tart, slightly bitter, refreshing flavor and is rarely eaten raw, coming into its own once sweetened. Lingonberries are low in calories and rich in vitamin C, fiber, and anthocyanin antioxidants.

They are most famous cooked into the sweet-tart lingonberry jam and sauce that is a beloved partner to Swedish meatballs, pancakes, and roasted meats and game, and they also flavor syrups, juices, and baked goods. Naturally high in benzoic acid, the berries keep remarkably well. Look for them fresh in season, frozen, or as preserves, and store fresh lingonberries refrigerated or freeze them to enjoy later.
