Wild Blueberries are a common food in northern Saskatchewan and are sometimes used as medicine. The plants are common in our Boreal Forest and is well adapted to grow profusely after fire. Boreal Heartland wild blueberries are hand picked from natural patches in the forest.
Wild blueberries are believed to have potential health benefits, including:
- Antioxidants: Blueberries contain polyphenolic antioxidants that may be good for the body and skin.
- Cardiovascular health: Blueberry anthocyanins may help prevent atherosclerosis and reduce the risk of clogged blood vessels.
- Blood pressure: Blueberries may help improve blood flow and relax blood vessels, which can lower blood pressure.
- Urinary tract infections: Blueberries contain similar compounds to cranberries, which may help ease UTI symptoms.
- Digestion: Blueberries are high in fiber, which can help with digestion.
Boreal Heartland markets dried wild blueberries and wild blueberry powder in its seasoning line. These are excellent in desserts, baking, smoothies and tzatziki sauce.
