Wild red blueberry

The red berries are also called foxberries and are closely related to the much better known blueberries. The berries are much loved by foxes, to which they therefore owe their name. You find the berries mainly in the kitchens of northern and eastern European countries. The red berries have a tart, sour taste, which is caused by the high content of fruit acids in the berry.
