Vaccinium macrocarpon è una pianta appartenente alla famiglia delle Ericacee, il cui frutto viene chiamato "mirtillo rosso americano". Esso, grazie alla ricchezza e alla varietà di composti bioattivi che possiede, viene considerato un "functional food". In particolare la presenza di acido ascorbico e di polifenoli rende interessante la sua azione come agente antiossidante, mentre nello specifico composti come le proantocianidine, lo rendono utilizzabile anche per combattere alcuni tipi di infezioni. Lo studio di tale frutto e dei suoi composti bioattivi potrebbe portare ad interessanti scoperte sul campo medico.
