🍒 Lingonberries: The Nordic Berries That Defend and Delight
Superfood Spotlight: Lingonberries
Native to Scandinavia and the Arctic tundra, lingonberries have been a staple in Nordic diets for centuries. Traditionally served alongside savory dishes like meatballs or game, these tart red berries are more than just a condiment—they’re loaded with antioxidants and compounds that support urinary tract health, immunity, and longevity.
Why They’re Super:
- 🧬 Antioxidant-rich — Packed with polyphenols and flavonoids that protect cells from oxidative stress
- 🩺 Urinary tract support — Similar to cranberries, they help prevent infections and support bladder health
- ❤️ Heart & metabolic ally — May improve cholesterol balance and regulate blood sugar
- 🌿 Anti-inflammatory — Reduces systemic inflammation and supports joint comfort
- ✨ Skin & gut glow — High in fiber and vitamin C for digestion and radiant skin
