Cranberry

Cranberries are small, round, red fruits that are known for their tart taste. They grow on low-lying vines in bogs, primarily in the northern United States and Canada. Cranberries are often used in sauces, juices, and baked goods, and they are a popular addition to holiday meals, especially during Thanksgiving. They are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, making them a nutritious choice. Cranberries are also known for their potential health benefits, including promoting urinary tract health and providing anti-inflammatory properties. The fruit is typically harvested in the fall, with a unique method where the bogs are flooded, and the cranberries float to the surface for easy collection.
