Where to start? What an incredible fruit. Cranberries, native to North America, are not merely a Thanksgiving staple; their tartness often requires dilution. I’m beginning to appreciate these berries, moving beyond their association with UTIs to recognize their broader health benefits.

Science is continually evolving but I’ve recently fallen in love with Cranberries (or I think I have).
- Antinflammatory enhance heart health, support digestion and aid in post-exercise recovery.
- Antihistamine-like effects
- Those fascinated by spiders will be pleased to discover that farmers employ them as guardians against pests when crops are growing.

- They do not grow underwater.
- Each cranberry has 4 air chambers, that means they can float.

It’s a real shame that when you search YouTube for “Cranberries” you are overwhelmed with music. Not to say the band isn’t good, but the opportunity to learn more about these fruits is a little-bit hidden.

What did the grape say when it got stepped on by a cranberry?
“Nothing, it just let out a little wine.”
Will cranberry pills produce the same results as drinking cranberry juice, or cranberry concentrate with water?
They share some similarities, but there are differences as well… both forms are beneficial. I’ve tried using the concentrate AND the pills for a week and my pee was a crazy color.
