Cranberries

Hey guys

As an important part of our heritage, the role of cranberries continues to evolve. Native Americans considered cranberries an important food and medicine.
Fabled to have been introduced to Pilgrims by Native Americans, cranberries eventually became a staple for our traditional and holiday meals. They are also enjoyed as a beverage for their refreshing taste and perceived benefits, especially for women. Today, research suggests that cranberries are a functional food powerhouse that may provide a variety of health benefits. This cheerful berry is not just for the holidays anymore.

Scientific Research Indicates Important
Health Benefits from Cranberry Juice

While initial studies confirmed long-held beliefs about cranberries and urinary tract benefits, emerging science suggests that cranberries may help maintain the healthy functions of our bodies in other ways. The key may lie in the cranberry’s natural ability to inhibit bacteria, as well as its high content of nutrients, antioxidants and other phytonutrients.

Buying the cranberries
Fresh cranberries are available from October through December. You will typically find them in plastic bags any your neighborhood grocers. When the berries are ripe, they have a deep red color and are very firm.

Thank you again for stopping by. God bless you during this wonderful autumn season.
