Berries have served as a food source ever since the advent of time and still remain a primary food source for many primates. In earlier times, berries were predominantly stored to be used and consumed in winters. Among berries, bearberry has gained significant importance over the years. Bearberry is a fruit belonging to the genus Arctostaphylos. Apart from Arctostaphylos, the fruits of two other shrubs, namely Arctostaphylos alpine and Arctostaphylos rubra, also claim for the title of bearberry. Bearberry is commonly known as uva-ursi and has been a part of traditional healing methods since times immemorial.
