| Background: | Although varieties of cranberries are found growing wild throughout Europe, Asia and North America, only the native North American berries have been cultivated commercially. Native to acid bogs, cranberries were an important source of food, medicine and decoration for native peoples who introduced them to early North American explorers and English colonists. The first commercial beds were planted in Massachusetts by a veteran of the Revolutionary War, and the industry has evolved to increase yields and facilitate harvest. |
| Product Detail: | Cranberries grow best in colder northern regions. They are cultivated in beds or bogs, and their flowers point downward resembling a crane’s head; thus, the original name “craneberry”. The resulting dark red, large berries are sour and astringent, requiring sweetening to make them a tart and appealing dried fruit. Cranberries have antibacterial, and possibly anti-viral properties. They are heart healthy and high in antioxidants. Our dried cranberries are high quality, naturally dried for a balanced fruit content and not dried as a by-product of juice production. Dried cranberries are used in a variety of baking and confectionery applications, for cereals and granolas, as well as in snacks and trail mixes. |
