Wild arctic berries are tasty, abundant and natural superfoods. They contain significant amounts of various health-promoting compounds, including polyphenols. One of the most common types of polyphenols in wild arctic berries are anthocyanins, which act as antioxidants and are known for their beneficial effect to cardiovascular health, vision and prevention of diabetes, among other benefits.
