Nutraceutical potential of high-latitude and high-altitude berries rich in ellagitannins
This review concerns three species of berries, namely, the high-latitude cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus) and arctic bramble (Rubus arcticus), and the high-altitude yellow raspberry (Rubus ellipticus). These plants are mostly exploited on a local basis as food or traditional remedies but could have a...
