In Labrador and parts of Canada, 'redberry' is a common name for the lingonberry or cowberry, a small, tart red berry that grows in boreal and subarctic regions. It's used in jams, sauces, and traditional Indigenous foods. The term is a practical, descriptive local name used in areas where the plant is common, distinguishing it from other regional berry names. In Newfoundland and Labrador, foraging for redberries in late summer is a well-established seasonal tradition.
