69: Lingonberries in Scandinavia: Nordic Nature's Wild Treasure

Step into the Nordic forest with me as we explore the story of lingonberries—Scandinavia’s tart red superberry. From ancient traditions and foraging tales to modern recipes and health benefits, this episode uncovers how lingonberries connect culture, nature, and flavour across the Nordic countries.  Top tip:  For novice foragers eager to know what is growing beneath their boots before the fruit appears, taking a photo with a digital tool to identify berries and wild shrubs can clarify the exact species early in the season.
