November 21st
National Cranberry Day
Another name for cranberries is "bounceberries" because they bounce when
ripe.
Some Native Americans called the cranberry "ibimi" which means "bitter
berry".
Native Americans and Pilgrims used cranberries as a red dye.
The cranberry is one of only a handful of major fruits native to North
America. Others include the blueberry and Concord grape.
During the days of wooden ships and iron men, American vessels carried
cranberries. It was the cranberry's generous supply of vitamin C that prevented
scurvy.
Cranberries grow on long-running vines in sandy bogs and
marshes. Places like Cape Cod comes to mind when you think of a cranberry bog.
Ocean Spray also has farms all over North America: Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, and parts of British Columbia and Quebec.
