Definition
Plural of cowberry; small red or dark berries similar to lingonberries that grow on low bushes in northern regions.
Etymology
From 'cow' (origin unclear in this context, possibly describing abundant growth or wild nature) plus 'berry' (Old English 'berige'). The name may relate to cattle grazing areas where they grow.
Kelly Says
Cowberries and lingonberries are nearly identical and often confused—they've been gathering food for Scandinavian and Russian peoples for thousands of years, preserved in jams that last all winter!
