Lingonberries are small, red berries that grow on low shrubs in the Ericaceae family. They are commonly found in northern regions, including parts of Scandinavia and North America. These berries are known for their tart flavor and are often used in jams, sauces, and desserts. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, lingonberries are considered a healthy addition to the diet. They are often compared to cranberries due to their similar taste and health benefits. Lingonberries can be enjoyed fresh, but they are frequently preserved or cooked to enhance their flavor.
