High in Antioxidants
Lingonberries' antioxidant content and other plant chemicals make them particularly noteworthy in terms of nutrition. A serving of 3/4 cup (100 grams) of lingonberries provides 139% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) for manganese, a mineral needed for the production of superoxide dismutase, one of the body's main antioxidant enzymes.
Additionally, a serving of lingonberries contains 10% and 12%, respectively, of the RDIs for vitamins E and C, both of which have antioxidant properties. Additionally, lingonberries, like many berries, are abundant in plant chemicals such as anthocyanins and flavonoids. In actuality, anthocyanins, which give lingonberries their red color, may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Additionally, lingonberries contain quercetin, a flavonoid that has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and other illnesses may be decreased as a result.
