From the way they are harvested to the way they taste–cranberries are an interesting fruit! They are often used to make sauces, jellies, baked goods, and juice. They contain important minerals and vitamins A and C, which are important qualities for any superhero! Cranberries are native to North America and were first used by Indigenous Peoples as a source of food and were added to dishes like pemmican (dried meat with berries). Today, in Canada, most cranberry superheroes are grown in British Columbia and Quebec. They are bright red on the outside like strawberries and cherries but that doesn’t mean they are sweet on the inside. If you bite into this fruit when it is fresh, you might be surprised by the sour flavour, but that isn't the only surprise the cranberry is hiding. Read "The Story of Food: Cranberry" to learn more.
