Forest tastes

Cowberries on a heath.
Now that the snow has gone you can count on finding some berries to enjoy again on a forest ramble.
The cowberries, or lingonberries, don’t look as fresh as in Arne’s photo, but there is quite a lot of them in the forests, and very tasty too, less sour than in summer.
After night frosts the juice ferments a little and that somehow makes the cowberries sweeter.
In spruce or mixed forests there is also plenty of wood sorrel, and its taste too is milder than in spring and summer. Both plants contain vitamins, and drive off tiredness nicely if you use some 15 minutes in the forest to munch cowberries and wood sorrel.
