Bilberries are the small fruits of an evergreen shrub, Vaccinium myrtillus, which grows in the coniferous forests of temperate regions in the Northern Hemisphere. Already known to the ancients, they were called vaccinium by the poet Virgil, who used this term from the archaic Greek vakintos, meaning "blue hyacinth." The Latinized name was used to designate a blue berry, specifically the bilberry. The term myrtillus, on the other hand, is the Latin diminutive of myrtus, myrtle, and refers to the resemblance of the leaves and berries of these two plants.
Dehydrated and fresh bilberries are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and have been used in traditional medicine for centuries.
Just as in ancient times, CiboCrudo bilberries are 100% wild bilberries, smaller in size but with a more intense flavor than cultivated blueberries. The dehydrated bilberries you can buy online from the CiboCrudo shop grow in unspoiled lands and are therefore certified organic: even richer in anthocyanins and flavonoids, compounds that are naturally produced by the plant in nature to defend itself from parasites when it is not treated with chemical pesticides.
The harvesting of CiboCrudo dried bilberries takes place between June and August, using a "comb," a kind of small drawer equipped with long metal teeth that detach the fruits from the twigs. The drying of CiboCrudo dried bilberries takes place gently in the sun: a gentle process that allows us to obtain dehydrated bilberries as rich in nutrients as fresh ones, with no added sugar, no flavorings or preservatives of any kind.
Delicious to eat as they are, CiboCrudo dehydrated bilberries are vegan and naturally gluten-free, and can be used for preparing raw desserts, sauces, smoothies, sweets and much more.
Naturally preserved "chiodini" mushrooms (often commercially referred to as Armillaria mellea or Pholiota nameko) are selected mushrooms, blanched and immersed in water and salt, without added oil or vinegar. This type of preservation maintains the authentic forest flavor and allows you to customize every recipe in the kitchen.
