| Fresh from the bush or vine, berries are one of nature's sweetest, most delicious
foods. Naturally healthy and organic, wild berries are low in calories (averaging
about 80 calories per cup), and high in vitamin, potassium, iron and calcium
content. They are also a wonderful source of natural fiber.
Our Wild Mountain Blueberries grow high in the foothills and mountain of the
Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest to Alaska. So closely related to
our region’s wild huckleberries few pickers know or can tell the difference.
However, a close look immediately reveals a unique wild berry fruit much different
in size and appearance from our Northwest Wild Blue Huckleberries.
Wild Mountain Blueberries are most often smaller in size and possess a unique
tangy, mild yet tart taste and flavor very different from our sweet tasting
wild blue huckleberries. In addition to a wonderful full-bodied flavor, wild
blueberries grow on low bushes that produce fruit with a slight white powdered
look covering a berry that can range in color from sky blue to dark blue.

Wild Berry Research Health Notes:
University of Idaho scientists Todd Taruscio, Jerry Exon, and Dan Barney recently
characterized some of the bioactive compounds found in wild blueberries, huckleberries,
and bilberries as part of a grant funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
Initiative for Future Agricultural and Food Systems. Seven Vaccinium species
native to western North America were compared to highbush blueberries and half-high
blueberries (hybrids between highbush and lowbush blueberries). Traits of interest
included antioxidant capacity, total phenolics, total anthocyanins, flavanols,
phenolic acids, and anthocyanidins.
Research is now underway to determine how these fruits affect the development
of colon cancer.
