Cranberries

Cranberries are small, round, red berries that grow on low-lying evergreen shrubs primarily in North America. They thrive in wetlands and bogs, where their acidic environment helps them grow. Cranberries are known for their tart flavor and are often used in juices, sauces, and dried snacks. They contain antioxidants and nutrients that may support urinary health and boost immunity. Harvesting involves flooding the bogs to collect the berries easily. Besides culinary uses, cranberries are valued for their health benefits and are a traditional ingredient in holiday dishes and beverages.
