The precious “Wild Blueberry” (commonly known as Bilberry) found in the Finnish forests is the only blueberry variety in the world that cannot be artificially cultivated. These blueberries grow naturally in Finland's vast, pristine forests, making them exceptionally rare and valuable.
The Happiest Country in the World: Finland
Finland boasts the purest water and air on the planet, with forests covering 75% of its land and 188,000 lakes earning it the titles “Land of a Thousand Islands” and “Land of a Thousand Lakes.” A quarter of Finland’s territory lies within the Arctic Circle, where extended daylight during the growing season allows Finnish plants to absorb ample sunlight.
The Golden Region for Wild Nordic Blueberries
The Aurora Borealis Forest, located at 58°N latitude in Norway, is known as the golden region for Nordic wild blueberries. This unique environment, rich in resources, produces the highest quality wild blueberries. These berries can only grow in unpolluted, high-altitude, cold regions, are harvested manually, and are extremely rare.
A Nutrient-Rich “Superfood”
Nordic wild blueberries are rich in anthocyanins, flavonoids, vitamin C, and vitamin E, and are a good source of fiber. Studies show that due to Finland’s unique long daylight environment, these blueberries contain several times more anthocyanins and flavonoids than cultivated blueberries, making them highly nutritious.
Enhancing Eye Health and Relieving Eye Fatigue
The anthocyanins in blueberries help improve microvascular blood circulation, making them particularly beneficial for those who use computers frequently. They aid in the production of “rhodopsin” in the eyes, enhancing light sensitivity, slowing down eye aging, and relieving eye fatigue. Additionally, the strong antioxidant properties of anthocyanins help delay skin aging and reduce pigmentation.
Bilberry's Key Benefits
- Activates rhodopsin and enhances visual acuity
- Slows down eye aging and protects vision
- Effectively relieves eye fatigue and dryness
- Improves dark circles and promotes blood circulation in the eye’s microvascular system
Wild blueberries are not only an excellent choice for daily health maintenance but also a crucial natural food for protecting eye health and delaying aging.
