Description

Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) is native to the circumpolar and boreal regions of North America, Eurasia and Japan. In North America, it can be found from Greenland to Alaska and south to the Great Lakes Region and New England, growing in peaty or acidic soils. In spring, tiny, pink, bell-shaped flower clusters form, followed by bright red berries that can persist over winter.

Lingonberries are beloved by birds and other wildlife, as well as people! The edible berries taste like a cross between a cranberry and a blueberry, and make delicious jam. Somewhere between the tart bite of a cranberry and the sweetness of a blueberry, lingonberries have been made famous by a particularly well-known Swedish furniture company known to pair Lingonberry Jam with meatballs.
