In the rugged landscapes of Scandinavia, where the summers are short and the winters long, lingonberries thrive in the cool, temperate climate. These resilient berries flourish in the wild, growing in the nutrient-rich soils of forests, mountains, and tundra. Their ability to withstand harsh weather conditions makes them a natural part of the Nordic ecosystem. The cold Scandinavian winters, followed by the short but intense growing season in the summer, allow lingonberries to develop their rich nutrients and distinctive tart flavor.

Protein isn’t just for building muscles—it’s essential for maintaining overall health, supporting metabolism, immune function, and cognitive well-being. Surprisingly, research shows that 30-50% of older adults don’t consume enough protein to maintain muscle mass, which contributes to increased frailty and a higher risk of falls. Even for younger adults, hitting daily protein targets can be challenging, with studies indicating that nearly 1 in 3 people fail to meet the recommended daily intake for optimal health.
