26. Montana - Huckleberry Ice Cream

26. Montana - Huckleberry Ice Cream

The huckleberry might be the state fruit of Idaho but they have yet to curate a culture around the bitter berry like the state of Montana has. The berry also known as the 'hurtleberry' was originally collected and used by the indigenous people of North America for food and medicinal purposes. This particular fruit can be used to fight infection, treat heart ailments, and pain. Now, the berry is utilized for one of Montana's most famed desserts, huckleberry ice cream.

Huckleberries are known for being a little more tart than their cousin, the blueberry and make for a more unique ice cream experience, unlike any other flavor out on the market. Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to find huckleberry ice cream outside of the Northwest region of the United States which makes it all the more desirable if you ever get the chance to have a scoop. Local creameries throughout the state have a hard time keeping the ice cream stocked due to its popularity.
