Cranberries are small, round, red berries that grow on low-lying vines in wetlands. They are known for their tart flavor and are often used in sauces, juices, and baked goods. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, cranberries are celebrated for their health benefits, particularly in supporting urinary tract health. These berries are typically harvested in the fall, often using a method called "wet harvesting," where fields are flooded to float the berries for easy collection. Thanksgiving is a popular time for cranberry dishes, making them a staple in many households during the holiday season.
