Definition
A small dark berry that grows on a low shrub in cold northern regions, used in traditional Nordic cuisine.
Etymology
From 'crow' + 'berry'; the dark berries resembled crows or were eaten by crows in northern climates where the shrub grows. Documented in Scandinavian languages by the medieval period.
Kelly Says
The crowberry plant thrives in harsh Arctic and subarctic environments where few other plants grow, making it a crucial survival food for indigenous peoples of the far north.
