Cranberries have been eaten by arctic peoples for millennials and remain a very popular fruit for wild harvesting in the Nordic countries and Russia. In Scotland the berries were formerly wild harvested but with the loss of suitable habitat, the plants have become so scarce that this is no longer done.
In North America, Native Americans were the first to recognize the use of the cranberry as a source of food. Some tribes called the red berries Sassamanash. They are reported to have introduced the cranberry to starving English settlers in Massachusetts around 1620, who incorporated the berry into the traditional Thanksgiving feast.
Cranberries are a good source of ellagic acid, a compound that has raised high hopes in cancer research. Ellagic acid has been shown to disarm cancer-causing agents and also to help prevent tumors from growing.
Cranberry juice is recommended to clear up urinary tract infections! AND IT WORKS!
**Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association proves the strongly beneficial effect that cranberry juice has on cystitis and urinary infections.
Cranberries were prized by the Natives who discovered them. Certain trible legends told of how cranberries were a gift from the Great Spirit, sent to earth in the beak of a crane.
Introduced to cranberries by the Natives, Pilgrims also valued this tart fruit. Some areas passed laws to protect the wild bogs. Only certain people could harvest at certain times. Lawbreakers were heavily fined.
It was the medicinal benefits that made the cranberry so valuable.
Today, modern science is proving what the Natives and Pilgrims knew from experience, that cranberries are good for you. The list of benefits is long ---
*prevention of urinary tract infection
*gum disease
*stomach ulcers
*heart disease
*cancer and other diseases
