About this product
What is wild bilberry powder?
The bilberry is the wild European cousin of the blueberry. It grows low on the forest floor across Finland and is gathered by hand rather than farmed. Unlike a cultivated blueberry, the flesh is dark all the way through, which is why the powder is such a deep colour. Ours is 100% wild bilberry with nothing added.
How it is made
The berries are dried and milled to a fine, free-flowing powder. No sugar, colour or carrier is added, so the intense colour and flavour are entirely the fruit's own.
What it tastes like
Deep berry flavour with a pleasant tartness, more concentrated than fresh blueberries. The colour is a dark blue-purple that turns a soft lilac in milk or yoghurt.
How to use wild bilberry powder
Enjoy in yoghurt, porridge, smoothies or desserts. A teaspoon colours a bowl of oats; a tablespoon gives a smoothie real depth. It also works in pancake batter and as a natural colour in icing.
