No crowberries to pick here, eh Rajan, no matter how evil the deed?:-) BTW I heard of “crowberries” for the first time on your site, I am intrigued by this berry’s very existence. Do you eat them raw? Are they sweet? – Nachi
No berries in Ódáðahraun. This is a desolate area in every sense. Yes, you pick them, you eat them. They grow in the wild in Iceland during the very brief Fall season.
Crowberries are my favorite berries 🙂 We name it Krækiber in Iceland.

You are asking the wrong Parrikar about the crowberries 🙂 They are eaten raw, but they also used to make jam, homemade wine, topping for skyr, etc. They are mild-tasting and very juicy, not overly sweet. But I prefer bilberries 🙂
