Common Name: Bilberry

Also Known As: Bilberry Fruit Powder, European Blueberry Powder, Vaccinium myrtillus Fruit Powder
Part Used: Dried fruit of Vaccinium myrtillus, finely milled
Description: Bilberry Fruit Powder is produced from the dried fruits of Vaccinium myrtillus, a small shrub native to the temperate forests of Europe. The berries are harvested when fully ripe, carefully cleaned to remove natural debris, and dried to maintain their natural deep blue to purple colour. Once dried, the fruit is finely milled into a uniform powder that preserves the natural colour and texture of the berries.
Vaccinium myrtillus produces small, round berries with a naturally dark hue and smooth skin. When processed into powder, the fruit retains its characteristic pigmentation and slightly tangy berry aroma. The finely milled form ensures easy blending into dry mixtures, formulations, and creative botanical preparations.
The berries are washed, gently dried using controlled warm-air or low-temperature methods, and milled to achieve a consistent, fine powder. The final material contains no additives, fillers, or processing agents, resulting in a pure plant-based ingredient composed solely of dried bilberry fruit.
Uses: Bilberry Fruit Powder is used in culinary preparations, dry beverage mixes, dessert blends, natural colouring applications, botanical craft mixtures, and educational herb kits. Its smooth texture, natural colour, and berry flavour make it suitable for visual, culinary, and creative projects where a fruit-based powder is desired.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
