Bilberry Extract

 Blueberries are a type of fruit that is adapted to the temperate climate zone and is botanical in the group of real grapes. Vaccinium corymbosum  L, vaccinium darrowii and rabbit blueberry ( Vaccinium ashei Reade ) are cultivated and of economic importance.There are three different types. It is cultivated in thousands of hectares in some European countries, especially in the USA. Today, the blueberry, which is commercially grown, is the product of selection studies initiated in the United States since 1906. The selected blueberry types were then hybridized among themselves and new varieties were obtained. The new blueberry varieties developed with breeding studies give much larger, juicy and sweeter fruits than their natural forms and are more resistant to diseases and pests. With these aspects, they can adapt to larger areas.

In terms of climate demand, Artvin, Rize, Trabzon, Giresun, Samsun and Sinop, which are the provinces in the Eastern Black Sea Region, generally have wild forms in high altitude mountains and highlands and are consumed freshly by the local people by making jam or molasses. Blueberries prefer acidic soils (pH = 4.0-5.5) and, in general, where wild blueberries are present, cultivars can grow easily in relatively sloping areas where laurel, pine, alder or white cedar are mixed. Since the soils in the Black Sea Region are acidic and this region is located in the blueberry homeland, it is necessary to add blueberries to the product range in the region.

Formed wildly in the mountains of the Eastern Black Sea Region, likapa, kaskanaka, çera (mçela) in Trabzon, ligarba, lifos in Trabzon, morsivit or mahabak (merhauk) in Artvin, bush strawberries in Ordu-Giresun, Kars-Ardahan and it is consumed by the local people. This fruit is also known as blueberry, huckleberry, whortleberry, black whortleberry, bilberry, burren myrtle, mrytille, dyeberry, hurtleberry, whinberry, wineberry. is a very valuable fruit variety in terms of product variety. Blueberries that love acidic soil are extremely low in the world and are produced in difficult conditions.
