Myrtillin

Myrtillin is an anthocyanin. It is the 3-glucoside of delphinidin. It can be found in all green plants, most abundantly in black beans, blackcurrant, blueberry, huckleberry, bilberry leaves^[1][2] and in various myrtles, roselle plants, and Centella asiatica plant.^{[citation needed]} It is also present in yeast and oatmeal.^{[citation needed]} The sumac fruit's pericarp owes its dark red colour to anthocyanin pigments, of which chrysanthemin, myrtillin and delphinidin have yet been identified.^{[3][unreliable source?]}
