Definition
Plural of crowberry; small dark berries that grow on low shrubs in northern regions and are edible.
Etymology
From 'crow' (possibly because the bird eats them, or due to their dark color like a crow) + 'berry' (a fruit). The term is Scandinavian in origin, used especially in Northern Europe and the Arctic.
Kelly Says
Crowberries are sometimes called 'crowberries' simply because they're so dark they look crow-black, but in Nordic countries they've been a traditional food for centuries, rich in vitamin C for long winters.
