Snemmbær

Snemmbær is a fictional berry originating from the northern regions of the continent of Veridia. These berries are characterized by their deep blue hue and a slightly tart, yet sweet flavor profile. They are known to grow on low-lying, hardy shrubs that thrive in colder climates and are often found in rocky soil or near alpine meadows.

The cultivation of snemmbær is challenging due to the specific environmental conditions required for the plant's growth. However, their unique taste has made them a sought-after ingredient in Veridian cuisine. They are commonly used in jams, pies, and traditional medicinal infusions. Local folklore suggests that consuming snemmbær can enhance night vision, though this claim is not scientifically substantiated.

The harvesting season for snemmbær typically occurs in late autumn, just before the first heavy snows. This limited availability contributes to their value and the special occasions on which they are often prepared. Different regions in Veridia have their own variations on recipes using snemmbær, reflecting diverse culinary traditions. The plant itself is relatively small, with tough, dark green leaves that persist through the winter.
