The History of Cranberries

Cranberries are native to North America, where they have been cultivated for centuries by Indigenous peoples for both culinary and medicinal uses. The name "cranberry" is derived from the word "crane berry" because early settlers thought the plant resembled the long-necked crane bird.

In the early 19th century, cranberries were commercially harvested for the first time, and they became a popular food in the United States. Today, cranberries are grown in many countries, with North America being the largest producer. They are used in a wide variety of products, from cranberry sauce and juice to dried cranberries and sliced cranberries.
