Description Cranberry is an evergreen, dwarf, creeping shrub or a low-lying trailing vine that grows up to 2 meters (7 ft.) long and 5 to 20 centimeters (2 to 8 in) in height. The plant is found growing in ombro-trophic sphagnum bogs and minero-trophic fens in moist coastal and boreal forests. The best cranberry grows on different kinds of open, sedge and low-growing swamps as well as mossy open bogs. The plant grows on the poor, acidic soils (such as sandy bogs and marshes). The plant has slender, creeping, wiry, not so thick, woody stems and root at the nodes. Branches are slender and wiry, new branches erect to ascending, 4 to 5 inches long, brownish and minutely hairy or smooth. Older branches become dark reddish brown and smooth, spreading horizontally 1 to 2 feet, rooting at the nodes. Stems are often hidden under the moss. Leaves Leaves are simple and alternate, leathery and evergreen, toothless and hairless, ¼ to 1/3 inch long, 1/10 to 2/10 inch wide, oblong-elliptic, the base rounded and tips tapering to a point, and a very short stalk. The upper surface is dark green, smooth and shiny, the sides and edges typically strongly rolled under with the leaf tip reflexed upward; the lower surface is pale green and smooth with a white, waxy coating. Flower 1 to 4 nodding flowers on long stalks, arising singly from axils of leaf-like bracts at the base of new shoots, the shoots rarely elongating. Flowers are ¼ to 3/8 inch long, white to pinkish with 4 narrowly lance shaped petals that tightly curl back, like a lily. Projecting from the center is a tight cluster of long, slender reddish stamens and a single, slender style that is longer than the stamens. The stalks are minutely hairy, often reddish with two opposite, tiny scale-like bracts that are typically at or below the middle of the stalk. Flowering normally takes place from Jun to August. Flowers are pollinated by bees. Fruit These beautiful flowers are followed by fruit that is a small, round, red color berry up to 10-15 mm (0.4-0.6 in.) broad, juicy, acidic berry, sweeter after frost. Fruit is initially green maturing to shiny dark red, and often persisting through winter. Each berry features four centrally placed tiny seeds enclosed in capsules. The berry is very acidic in taste, with pH in the range of 2.3 to 2.5. It mainly reproduces vegetatively. Cranberry season lasts from October until December. Cranberries are a major commercial crop in certain American states and Canadian provinces. Most cranberries are processed into products such as juice, sauce, jam, and sweetened dried cranberries, with the remainder sold fresh to consumers. Cranberry sauce is a traditional accompaniment to turkey at Christmas dinner in the United Kingdom and at Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners in the United States and Canada. Health Benefits Cranberries are native to the U.S. They are tasty and contain useful nutrients. Cranberries offer a range of possible health benefits. A diet with a high proportion of fruits and vegetables has been shown to offer health benefits. In addition, cranberries are a good source of various vitamins and antioxidants. Listed below are some of the well-known health benefits of using Cranberry 1. Urinary tract infections Cranberry is perhaps best known for its role in preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly for those with recurrent infections. Cranberries consist of higher level of antioxidant proanthocyanidins (PACs) which helps to stop certain bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract walls. In this way, the PACs in cranberries help prevent infection. 2. Benefits the Digestive Tract Cranberries are supposed to have cleansing, anti-diarrheal, anti-septic and diuretic detoxifying properties. They help the body to eliminate toxins and buildup, plus they aid in relieving water retention and bloating. Our digestive system goes beyond just our intestines and stomach - it is actually made up of our entire mouth, gums and colon too. 3. Halts Premature Aging Free radicals are present in the atmosphere and in some of the products used by us. These free radicals can cause the skin to age prematurely. Juice of cranberry consists of antioxidants that help to fight against the free radicals to slow down the process of aging, making the skin look firm and beautiful. 4. Acne Frequent consumption of cranberry or even applying its pulp can help to get rid of acne and blemishes. This method even helps to give a natural glow and blush to your face. 5. Inflammation Cranberries have been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect, which can possibly benefit conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, stomach and digestive disorders, and our cardiovascular system, mostly the lining of our vessel walls. 6. Weight Loss Cranberries consist of good amount of antioxidants, which help to flush out the system. This helps improves your metabolism and digestive system thus making you lose weight quickly. 7. Makes Bones Strong Cranberries are a good source of calcium that helps strengthen your bones, teeth and nails. It also reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis. It is also a good source of vitamin K, another important vitamin for overall bone health. Vitamin K helps maintain calcium in the bone matrix gives the bones higher resilience and prevents bone density loss. This in turn decreases the risk of fractures. One cup of raw cranberries or a glass of cranberry juice daily can play a key role in keeping your bones healthy and strong. 8. Protect against cancer Researchers continue to identify more and more ways that cranberries are helpful in slowing tumor growth, and have shown positive effects against certain types of cancer, including prostate, lung, breast, and colon cancer. 9. Works Well for Oily Skin Cranberry is acidic in nature. This helps to treat the oily skin. Mix some grounded oatmeal to the cranberry juice. Add a quarter cup of sugar and olive oil in the mixture. Blend everything together to make cranberry exfoliate. Rub this mixture gently on the oily skin. Rinse it with warm water and wipe it out gently. This mixture prevents sebum formation; thus helps to exfoliate the skin to offer it an oil-free look. Juice can also be mixed with honey. Rub the mixture on the face. Rinse it off with lukewarm water after leaving it for about 20 minutes. This works as an effective toner for the skin. 10. Reduces Risk of Heart Disease Research involving participants who consume a normal dietary intake of cranberries, which is about one cup a day, show that the fruit can prevent the triggering of two enzymes that are essential in the development of heart disease. Cranberry has also been shown to prevent activation of these enzymes by blocking activity of a pro-inflammatory molecule called tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). 11. Fights Oral Problems Cranberries also boost oral health and help prevent dental problems like gingivitis, gum disease, cavities and plaque buildup. According to the research, the polyphenols in cranberries have potential benefits for dental caries and periodontal disease. These potential anti-caries agents prevent the production of organic acids and the formation of bio-films by cariogenic bacteria on the gums and teeth. Additionally, the high vitamin C content in cranberries helps fight gum disease and infections. Drink one-half glass of unsweetened cranberry juice daily to help prevent bacteria from sticking to your teeth. 12. Ulcers Certain types of stomach ulcers are related to a particular type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori, and it's possible that cranberries may help prevent these bacteria from attaching to the lining of the stomach, similar to how they can help prevent bacteria from attaching to the lining of the urinary tract. 13. Protects Skin and Makes it Healthy Vitamin C, one of the astonishing components contained in cranberry juice, is essential for the formation of hydroxylisine, hydroxyproline, and amino acids required by the body to produce collagen. Oxygen and other important nutrients are responsible for keeping the skin firm and soft. They also make the skin look radiant and young. Collagen present in the cranberry juice helps to serve this purpose. Drinking cranberry juice regularly also protects the skin against the harsh weather conditions in winters. 14.
