Blueberry

Blueberries were a common type of berry in the Realms that grew on bushes.
==Habitats==
Places in the Realms where blueberries were known to grow included:
* Cormanthor, particularly in the Starwood. 
* Cormyr produced hundreds of acres of blueberries. Some of the settlements that were known to farm them included Thunderstone and Wheloon. There were also bogs to the west of Kirinwood that yielded bushels of blueberries.
* The Silvershield estate in Baldur's Gate.
* In north Faerûn, they could be found in the Earthspur Mountains.
* In northwest Faerûn, they could be found in the Nether Mountains.
==History==
In the mid–14 century DR, a farmer from Thunderstone named Del Geery used the dried skin of a hydra to make coverings for his raspberry, blueberry, and strawberry bushes. This covering kept the air around them at a cool , extending their growing period deep into autumn. The hydra hides proved to be effective only on these three types of berry bush.
==Species==
* Bilberry, a species of blueberry that was endemic to the High Moor plateau and the Serpent Hills.
==Usages==
* The bears that inhabited the forest of Cormanthor particularly favored gooseberries and blueberries to most other food.
* The High Flagon in Waterdeep offered its patrons sweet tarts with blueberry filling.
* Blueberries were gathered by the Disciples of St. Sollars the Twice-Martyred and used to brew a wine that they were famous for.
* Blueberries were one of the many types of edible berries in the Realms that could be used as material components for the spell goodberry.
* Some used blueberries in the treatment of certain medical conditions, such as dropsy and typhoid.
* The Green Hag of Lizard Marsh used blueberries to cook up a hag frozen treat called "Eye Scream", as described in the Witch's Brew Cookbook.
