Both berries are low in calories and have similar compositions. They contain vitamins C, B, A, K and PP, pectins, fiber and other elements characteristic of berries.
At the same time, blueberries and bilberries differ quite significantly in appearance and taste. The first berry is dark purple, small, has a tart taste, while the second is larger, has a pronounced blue coating and a more neutral taste.
Both berries are rich in vitamin C, but its concentration is higher in blueberries.
