Wild berries contain a wealth of secondary plant compounds, especially anthocyanins (which are responsible for the dark colour, have strong antioxidant activity and inhibit inflammation) and tannins (astringent, helpful for diarrhoea), as well as polyphenols that protect cells, and vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre that can strengthen the immune system, promote digestion and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Important secondary plant compounds in wild berries:
- Anthocyanins: They belong to the flavonoid group and give dark berries (e.g. bilberries and blackberries) their colour. They exhibit strong antioxidant (free radical‑scavenging) and anti‑inflammatory activity.
- Tannins: Have an astringent and haemostatic effect. Dried bilberries are traditionally used for diarrhoea.
- Polyphenols: An overarching category for numerous antioxidant substances, including anthocyanins.
Additional health‑promoting components
- Vitamins: High levels of vitamin C, and also vitamins E, K and the B vitamins.
- Minerals: Iron, magnesium and potassium.
- Dietary fibre: Pectins support digestion and contribute to satiety.
Examples sorted by berry type:
- Bilberries: Excellent source of polyphenols, tannins and anthocyanins (the darker, the more); may reduce blood pressure.
- Blackberries: High in anthocyanins, magnesium, iron and vitamin C.
- Raspberries: Rich in iron, B vitamins and magnesium.
