The Vaccinium vitis-idaea, better known as the Lingonberry is a tart red berry closely related to mountain cranberries. They grow in many northern climates ranging from Northern North America to Europe. But enough with the Exposition, let's talk about them
The lingonberry Would grow on bushes rather than crops, these bushes can be found in cold biomes (extreme hills, tundra, ect.) and can be harvested be right-clicking to get just the berries, or breaking them will grant you the full bush.
The bushes can be planted on at dirt-type block (mycelium, grass, podzol) and will start out as a small scrub, over the next few in game days they will slowly mature, once matures they will resemble a spruce leaf block resting on a small spruce wood stem (the bush itself would be about 75% the size of a full block). once matured, every 1-3 in game days the bush would be covered in red spots. This signifies that the bush is ready to be harvested, however, because it does not need to be broken to harvest, placing a dispenser next to it will try to harvest it once it gets a redstone signal, meaning it is possible to automate Lingonberry farms (keep in mind this is also possible with bread, potatoes, and carrots using villagers)
Lingonberries themselves are not filling at all, as they only restore half a shank and no saturation. however, combining 1 bottle, 3 lingonberries, and 1 sugar will grant you a bottle of lingonberry jam.
This Jam restores 2 shanks of hunger and 3 points of saturation (I don't remember how Minecraft handles Saturation TBH) so while still not good as a food on its own, it has 2 other uses that make it quite viable IMO. First, Shift right clicking on a block will place a pile of the jam. this will attract all farm animals within 20 blocks of it to a 5x5 area around it. any animal in this area will have the breeding cool down reduced by 33% (so if the normal cool down's 15 minuets they would be ready to breed again in 10 minuets) however, this pile of jam will expire in 3 Minecraft days and will have to be replaced, The second use for the jam is that it can be crafted with any food item to give it the "is Jammed" tag. an item with the "is jammed tag" will be consumed 25% faster. This is good for intense fights where you need to regen quickly, or if you just don't like the hunger mechanic and want to experience it as little as possible. Your call
Well, that's basically it. do whatever you please, just give proper reasoning before attempting to shoot it down

Jam is made of berries, which can be naturally filling. Saturation basically keeps you full longer, so it may be better to increase the saturation. I'd personally say around 3.2, so it wouldn't be as good as a carrot. Other than that, the idea of using this as an early game animal attractor/boost sounds great.

Feel free to drop by for a chat whenever.
If you'd like to talk with me about other games, here are a few I play.
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands series (Borderlands 2 is my favorite game, ever. TPS combat is a lot of fun and makes up for the lower-quality story, in my opinion)
Elder Scrolls series
Warframe (IGN is something like That_One_Flesh_Atronach)
Pokémon series (HGSS forever)
Rocket League
Fallout series
Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)
SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.

yeah, I knew that much, I just didn't know how it was handled by the game. But thank you for the feed back

Support, I think these would make good additions to the game. Especially considering there isn't really any types of fruit in the game besides apples. (Am I missing something? Apples are the only things I could think of..)
Which one of these is not like the other? (Wheat, of course, because it's the only one with a W!)
Now, I'd be okay with Strawberry, Blueberry, Blackberry and Rasberry, as long as there are more than two kinds of berries. Otherwise, they should just have the name "Berry". (Except maybe in the case of Strawberry, because they're noticeably different from other berries.)

My avatar is a texture from a small block game I made in Python. It's not very good and it probably won't work if you install it.
I'm very alone in my Minecraft worlds as I don't have a very good internet connection to run a server. If you're like me, you might be interested in my Posse mod suggestion.
y, you find them in the wild and place them on dirt. as for the dispencer thing, they can't collect berries so you would still need hoppers, although if they're placed on dirt then they wouldn't get collected, so perhaps the dispensers should collect them.

Right.
Anyway, just a question about the berry pile. Does it also expire in creative mode? Or what?
yeah, probably, may be able to make it part of random tick rates though
