Bilberries are very similar to their American cousins blueberries and huckleberries-- and like all members of the Vaccinium species, they're high in antioxidants due to the rich blued pigments responsible for their unmistakable color.
Bilberry Leaf - The bilberry bush is marked by small leathery leaves, similar to that of the myrtle bush, and clusters of deep purple berries. The leaves are often steeped in water to release their tannins and provide a delicious cup of antioxidant rich tea.
