Lingonberry

Vaccinium vitis-idaea

The lingonberry is an erect or ascending shrub growing to a height of 5–30 cm. The bitter-tasting lingonberry is globose, red and juicy. The best time to pick lingonberries is from late August to early October.

In food industry lingonberries are used to produce juice, jam, dried berries and berry powders as well as to grain and dairy products. By-product fractions in berry processing are suitable for example for animal feed and cosmetic applications.

The lingonberry is rich in manganese and is also a good source of fibre. Lingonberries contain a significant amount of vitamin E.

Lingonberries of Kiantama are hand-picked wild berries from Finland. Lingonberries are also available in organic quality depending on the product range.

Berry juice concentrates are 100% natural with no added sugar or other preservatives. Some of our concentrates are also available as organic products. NFC Juices have been processed as little as possible.

100% berry powder is made of top quality raw material ensuring that all valuable vitamins, natural flavonoids and minerals are preserved. Spray-dried berry powders are made of 100% berry juice concentrate by spray drying.

In making the berry purées without seeds, the skin and the seeds are separated from the berry, thus leaving only the juice and the pulp in the end product.

First-class, clean berries are always used to produce dried berries and berry powders.

Frozen berries are cleaned using a separation system which has a metal detector, a color separator and an X-ray machine.

Liquid sugar or pear juice concentrate are used to sweeten the sugar infused berries.
