Empetrum nigrum; the crowberry is common all over Iceland. The characteristic traits are the needle-like fleshy leaves and the black berries.
These berries are little bursts of trapped sunshine and our ancestors quickly learned to preserve them any way they could - frozen, dried, juiced and jammed. Icelandic wild berries grow slowly but develop a much richer flavor as a result. The short and cold summers mean that the berries are in short supply for most of the year and are considered a rare treat. The wild berries of Iceland have a flavor unlike anything else and are immensely rich in antioxidants.
Ragnheiður Axel Eyjólfsdóttir of Islensk Hollusta introduces us to their range of wild-harvested, hand-picked seaweeds, berries, herbs and salts. Iceland is a unique country, with exceptionally pure air and water, and seasonal extremes of light and dark, that produces incomparable plant foods of extraordinary resilience and power. Listen here.

"Love it. I put it in my morning smoothies and also sprinkle on salads and soy yoghurt. I love using dried berries in winter, as they are much better option than frozen. It is so hard to find this berry so happy that Raw Living has it in store!"
"This is not sweet, but the colour is very dark purple, which is beautiful and makes it seem like a very intense nutrient. A bit gritty in texture (and I did find a very hard piece of what felt like stone but thankfully i didn't break a tooth, so be careful!) Lovely in yoghourt."
"If you like acai or other purple powders, this is for you, very earthy! 😃"
