Lingonberries are almost ready for picking.
Lingonberries contain a significant amount of vitamin E. They have the lowest level of vitamin C of all the wild berries, however.
The lingonberry is rich in manganese and is also a good source of fibre.
Sautéed reindeer is perhaps the best known traditional meal from Lapland and it's always served with mashed potatoes and raw lingonberries preserves.
