Newfoundland's most valuable jewels and their greatest treasures are their vibrant and delicious berries. You can take freely from this jewel collection on green rolling hills, in soft mossy marshes, and on windswept barrens. Follow along and browse through just a small part of the vast collection.

Newfoundland's most famous amber yellow jewel is the bakeapple. The bakeapple is also known as the cloudberry. When bakeapple picking in Newfoundland no smog or any air pollution separates you from billowing clouds and blue skies. The bakeapple resembles another of Newfoundland's treasures - the ruby wild raspberry. The bakeapple though has a firmer texture and a more tart taste.

The story of the bakeapple on Newfoundland marshes even has a touch of romance about it. The sprawling mysterious marshes which are home to the bakeapple add to the atmosphere. Unlike most berries in its Robus species, the bakeapple doesn't self - pollinate. The bakeapple does require a plant of the opposite sex. Newfoundland's amber yellow jewel is right at home in this romantic setting. On a further journey, the bakeapple often finds its way into many romantic dinners - in bakeapple brandy, bakeapple meringues, and bakeapple parfaits.

The most vibrant red Newfoundland jewel is the partridgeberry. This deep red treasure represents strength.The partridgeberry is also known as the lingonberry and is a member of the cranberry family. The partridgeberry survives in the dry barren lands of Newfoundland. Sparkling glass jars filled with bright red partridgeberry jam delight the senses as much as any treasured jewel. The partridgeberry can be the secret ingredient in a delicate wine. Matching its down to earth beginning, it is also used in comfort desserts such as partridgeberry shortcake or partridgeberry berry cottage pudding.

The Newfoundland wild blueberry is like no other blueberry on earth. Newfoundland with its mixed climate gives birth to this indigo jewel. The Newfoundland blueberry bears no resemblance to its cultivated cousins. It grows in intense colors on low shrubs in forests, meadows, and on coastal headlands.

Wild blueberries will always appear on any list of super foods. Wild blueberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, niacin, manganese, carbohydrates, and dietary fibre. You can enjoy a super experience in the Newfoundland wilds while picking this most treasured indigo jewel. End your day with a glass of blueberry wine as night settles on this beautiful island. Don't forget to set the alarm though for your blueberry pancake breakfast.

Maybe in the morning Newfoundland can offer you all three of its jewels - a granola parfait with soft bakeapples and blueberry pancakes with partridgeberry berry sauce!

Or do you STILL just want to get that free cereal bar sample from the box? It's your choice - but you can pick Newfoundland's berry jewels - for free!
