Blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.)

I love blueberries.  I did say earlier that fresh fruit and berry season is my favorite time of year.  Blueberries are part of the bilberry family (Vaccinium myrtillus L.).

They can help to improve poor vision, macular degeneration, lower blood sugars, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, gout, rheumatoid arthritis and poor circulation.  

You can consume bliberries fresh, dried, frozen and in other herbal forms.   The parts used are the berry/fruit and leaf.
