What is a "whinberry"?
Whinberry, also known as bilberry or whortleberry, is a small dark-blue or black fruit that grows on low shrubs. It has a sweet and tangy flavor, similar to blueberries, and is often used in various culinary preparations such as jams, pies, and desserts. Whinberries are known for their antioxidant properties and are considered a nutritious and flavorful addition to a balanced diet. They are commonly found in woodland areas and heathlands, and their arrival in late summer is eagerly anticipated by foragers and berry enthusiasts.
