Bilberry has been recognized for its medicinal effects since the 12th century when women used the berries to promote good health. The berries were once considered a cure for scurvy because of there high vitamin content.
During world war II British Royal Air Force pilots would have a good helping of bilberry jam just prior to a mission to improve their night vision. It was not until nearly 20 years later that scientist began to study the possibility that bilberry might actually have a beneficial effect on vision.
