Item of the month: berry pickers

Berry pickers from Aleppo Ribrávrre.

We are at a time when we have the opportunity to harvest from nature's pantry. Cloudberries, blueberries, crowberries, lingonberries. In areas with strong seasonal changes, it is important to have access to vitamin C during the winter. Berries were picked in large quantities, pickled or mixed with reindeer milk in kegs that were put into cold springs.

To make picking more efficient, a berry picker could be made. The fact that Anna and Vilhelm in Alep Ribrávrre picked blueberries with their picker is revealed by the blue-black color of the inside.

Many of us are still harvesting the treasures of the forest. Perhaps you are one of those who make blueberry drink by placing bottles of water and blueberries in a window? And while the drink is being made at its own pace, you can enjoy the play of colors that occurs when the sun shines on the bottles.
