It’s a well-known fact that the forests and bogs of Northern Europe offer a bountiful array of wild berries rich in nutrients. From lingonberries to bilberries, these natural jewels provide a wealth of vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols. In Scandinavia alone, over 50 varieties of wild berries grow, with approximately 20 being suitable for consumption. Including these berries in our diet not only adds flavor and color but also boosts our intake of crucial nutrients. In this blog post, we explore into the world of wild berries, their varieties, and the benefits of incorporating them into our daily routine.

Chaga mushroom is a type of fungus that mainly grows on the bark of birch trees in cold climates, such as those in Scandinavia, Siberia, Canada, and Alaska. In Dutch, we call the mushroom “Berkenweerschijnzwam,” in English “chaga mushroom,” and in Latin “Inonotus obliquus.” For centuries, chaga has been used as a traditional medicine in Scandinavia, primarily to boost the immune system and promote overall health. Chaga is low in calories, rich in fiber, and filled with antioxidants. It likely has the highest ORAC value of all plant-based foods in the world.

After an intensive ice training, Pippo Limnell Finocchiaro rushes to the locker room. The 31-year-old defenceman of UNIS Flyers is apparently not only quick on the ice, but also in the locker room. Less than five minutes later he is showered, dressed and ready for the interview. Limnell talks about his two jobs to which he is fully committed. Besides ice hockey, Limnell has another great passion: healthy food and healthy lifestyle. That passion went so far that he started his own company: Puur Nordic.”I’ve always been passionate about eating healthy food and living a healthy lifestyle.”
