Ericaceae · fruit
Bilberry
Vaccinium myrtillus
Fruit mapped as an anthocyanin microvascular tradition. Evidence for retinopathy and night vision is thinner than marketing.
Safety first
Ripe fruit is food-like. Leaf tea is a different object. Night-vision marketing outruns this catalog.
Tradition vs trials
Traditional record. European berry for diarrhea (astringent) and later vascular folklore.
Trial literature. Anthocyanin extracts have small vascular files. Catalog tags the plant traditional overall.
