Its large berries are bright red and packed with juice and delicious flavor. The wild berries are fine, if you can get them, but for growing in a garden you can’t beat the Red Candy Lingonberry.

It is packed with vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamins B1, B2, and B3, as well as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.

Eaten all through Scandinavia and Russia, it is also a popular treat for Native Americans and Canada’s aboriginal peoples.
