Description

Often associated with improvement of night vision, bilberries are mentioned in a popular story of World War II RAF pilots consumingbilberryjam to sharpen vision for night missions. However, a recent study by the U.S. Navy found no such effect and origins of the RAF story cannot be found.

Although the effect ofbilberryon night vision is unfounded, laboratory studies in rats have provided preliminary evidence thatbilberryconsumption may inhibit or reverse eye disorders such as macular degeneration.

Bilberries are recognized as a good source of flavonoids, some of which have antioxidant activity.

As a deep purple fruit, bilberries contain anthocyanin pigments.
