A small dark berry that grows on shrubs in boggy, marshy environments; a berry found in wetland areas.
From 'bog' (marshy ground) + 'berry' (fruit). The term combines the habitat with the product, a common pattern in English plant naming.
Many bog berries have antimicrobial properties and high antioxidants because they evolved in harsh, acidic environments—modern scientists are discovering that these 'survival berries' have compounds that protected them in extreme conditions.
