About Huckleberry pie

Huckleberry pie is a dessert made with huckleberries, a small berry native to North America, often comparable to blueberries in flavor but with a distinct tartness. The pie is a popular dish in North American cuisine, particularly in the Northwest, where huckleberries thrive in mountainous areas. Nutritionally, huckleberries are low in calories and packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. The pie itself, depending on preparation, is typically moderate in sugar with a flaky crust made of flour, butter, or shortening, adding to its calorie count. While not the healthiest dessert option, huckleberry pie provides some of the nutritional benefits of the berries it contains, primarily their high Vitamin C and manganese content.

Health Benefits

• Huckleberries are rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins, which may help combat oxidative stress and inflammation.
• High Vitamin C content supports immune function and promotes healthy skin.
• Dietary fiber from huckleberries aids in digestion and supports gut health, with approximately 3 grams per cup.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat (in crust), dairy (if butter is used), eggs (if included in crust)

Suitable for: Vegetarian

Not suitable for: Gluten-free, vegan (unless dairy-free and egg-free substitutes are used)

Selection and Storage
