History Of Cranberry
Gen. 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen. 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind,
and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that
it was good.
Gen. 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which
is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree
yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree
of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the
leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
THE CRANBERRIES are unlike any other fruit in the world. From Cape
Cod to Washington State, this fruit (the cranberry) has played a role in
holiday culture and in family health and wellness for many decades. Its
unique health benefits and refreshing, tart taste put in a league of its own
when it comes to healthy refreshments.
Many Uses:
The Native American Indians, long time before the Pilgrims have arrived in
the year of 1620, have mixed deer meat and mashed cranberries to make,
what is called pemmican which was a convenience food that kept for a
long periods of time. The Indians also believed that cranberries had some
11
medicinal value, and this fruit was used by medicine men as an ingredient in
poultices to draw poison from arrow wounds. The cranberry juice was also
used as a natural dye for rugs, clothing and blankets. The Delaware Indians
in New Jersey used the cranberry as a symbol of peace.
Cranberry over the years has had a variety of different names since their
discovery. Eastern Indians called this fruit sassamanesh. Cape Cod
Pequots and South Jersey Leni-Lenape tribes has named them ibimi or
bitter berry. The Algonquins of Wisconsin call this fruit the atoqua But it
wasnt until the Dutch and German settlers came up with the name crane
berry, because the vine blossoms resembled the neck, the head and the bill
of a crane, that we today have arrived at what we all know as cranberry.
The cranberry is one of only a handful of fruits native to North America - the
Concord grapes and blueberry being the others. Cranberry were widely
found in Massachusetts, as it was documented by the early Pilgrims who
settled in the area there. Rumor has it that cranberry dates back to the 1700s.
Some documentation proves that cranberry was grown and largely harvested
in Dennis, Massachusetts actually on Cape Cod in 1816. This was the first
recorded yield in cranberry cultivation history.
This fruit gets its name from the German and Dutch settlers, that named it
crane berry. Then the wines of this plant bloom in the late spring and
its flowers which is a light pink petals that are twisted back, and it has a
resemblance to the head and bill of a crane (Bird). Over time the name
was shortened to what we now know as cranberry.
During the days of tall wooden ships, American vessels carried large
amounts of cranberries. Just as the same as the English who loved limes,
American sailors craved for cranberries. This was because this plants
generous supply of vitamin C that prevented scurvy.
12
The cranberries was also used by the Native Americans to make a
survival cake that was known as pemmican. They also used the fruit in
poultices and other dyes.
In the year 1810, Captain Henry Hall became the first to successfully
cultivate cranberries
Dennis, Massachusetts, was the first original site that recorded the
cultivation of cranberry in 1816.
Some people say that legend has it that the early Pilgrims have served
cranberries at the first Thanks Giving in 1621 in Plymouth,
Massachusetts.
In WW2 (World War Two), the American soldiers required about one
million pounds of dehydrated cranberries a year.
A hearty cranberry vine thrives in conditions that would not support most
other crops: acid soil, very few nutrients, low temperatures and even in
summer.
It takes one ton or more of cranberry vines per acre to plant a bog.
13
Oregon, New Jersey, Washington, Wisconsin and Massachusetts. There
are however other 5,500 acres that are cultivated in Chile, British
Columbia, as well as Quebec.
Other facts, did you know that there are 440 cranberries to one pound.
4,400 cranberries make one gallon of juice, and that 440,000 cranberries
is in a 100 pound barrel.
The United States alone consume some 400 million pounds of cranberries
each year. And about 80 million pounds or 20% that are eaten up during
Thanksgiving week.
Seven of 10 cranberries that are sold today come from Ocean Spray
alone, a grower cooperative that started in 1930.
If a person would string all the cranberries that are produced in North
America alone last year, they would stretch from Boston to Los Angeles
more than 565 times.
The cranberries are also used sometimes to add flavor to wines, but not
ferment as naturally as grapes, making them unsuitable for the traditional
winemaking process.

Health Benefits
15
potentially broader range of benefits for fighting disease and bacteria, such
as Salmonella, Staphylococcus as well as E.coli.
Cardiovascular Health
There has been preliminary research done that has shown that cranberries
have the ability to decrease total cholesterol and LDL, or bad cholesterol,
and to increase blood flow in the body. Researchers and scientists have also
found that cranberry extract contains polyphenol compounds called
flavornoids, which helps to maintain a healthy heart. In fact, the Wisconsin
study has already shown that the properties of cranberry juice that could
contribute to inhibiting blood clotting, promoting blood vessel diameter and
preventing clogged arteries are equivalent to those of red wine.
These studies has shown us that flavonoids isolated from cranberries may
inhibit bacteria adhesion, the mechanism by which cranberry helps to
maintain a healthy urinary tract and possibly even helps in prevention of
periodontal disease and the formation of certain ulcers. The compounds in
this plant may also help prevent the progression of atheroscleroic plaques
that lead to cardiovascular disease.
Anti-Cancer
16
preliminary, in vitro studies suggests cranberries contain compounds that
can inhibit carcinogenesis.
Ulcers
A new research suggests that compounds that are found in cranberries may
in fact inhibit ulcer-causing bacteria from sticking to the stomach lining and
walls. Research from Tel-Aviv University has also suggested that tannins
found in cranberries may help in inhibiting the adhesion of bacteria in the
stomach, including the Helicobacter pylori bacterium, which is the spiral
bacteria responsible for gastrointestinal ulcers as well as gastric cancer.

Cultivation
The cranberries are grown throughout the northern parts of the United
States. This region offers a special conditions that cranberries require,
including sandy soil conditions, abundant fresh water and a growing season
from May to October. Cranberries like to grow on low lying vines in
impermeable beds that are layered with sand, peat, gravel and clay.
These beds are commonly known as bogs or marshes and they were
originally created by glacial deposits more than 10,000 years ago. These
deposits were left in impermeable kettle holes lined with clay. The clay
prevented materials from leaching into the groundwater. Rocks and other
organic materials were collected by the glaciers. When the ice finally melted
deposits of heavy materials were layered on top of the clay.
These kettle holes were filled with water and other organic matter which
created the ideal environment for cranberries.
22
CRANBERRY BED - SOIL LAYERS
In many areas the cranberry season begins in the Winter when growers flood
the bogs with water that freezes and insulates the vine from frost. As all the
Winter snow melts and Spring arrives, the bogs are drained. Shortly
thereafter blossoms begin to for and appear. In mid-July, all the petals fall
from the flowers leaving a tiny green nodes which, after several weeks of
summer sun, becomes red, ripe cranberries. These cranberries are typically
harvested in September and October and can be stored for up to one year
under proper conditions.
HARVESTING CRANBERRIES:
The cranberries are harvested using either of two methods. Wet harvested
berries are generally processed, while dry harvested berries are most often
sold as fresh fruits.
WET:
Most cranberries are harvested using the wet method. Growers flood their
bogs with water then use harvesting machines that loosen the cranberries
from the vines. With small air pockets in their center, the cranberries float to
the top of the water. Growers corral the berries onto a conveyers that lift the
berries from the flooded bog onto trucks and into processing plants.
23
DRY:
DITCH CLEANING
Ditches are important for the flooding and the drainage of a bog or marsh.
The network of ditches must be kept free flowing. Ditch cleaning is usually
done in the spring and in the fall by hand or by a mini-excavator. The mud
piles are removed by either a bog vehicle or by a helicopter.
SPRINKLER SYSTEM
Sprinkler irrigation system supplements soil moisture, also protects the buds
from spring frost and the berries from frost in the fall and it cools the plants
during intense summer heat. There are two vital operations performed by
sprinklers on cranberry bogs - frost protection and also irrigation.
IRRIGATION
The cranberry plants can require 0.20 to 0.25 inches of water per acre per
day during the hottest, driest and windiest weather. The standard
recommendation is for vines to reach an inch of water per week from either
rain, capillary action from groundwater, irrigation or some combination of
these I have just mentioned. The best management practices recommend
irrigation in the early morning, so as not to extend the time the plants are
naturally wet. This common practice also minimizes loss from evaporation,
run-off and drifts, which can amount to 30% of water that comes out of the
nozzle.
24
FROST PROTECTION
Frost protection applies water to prevent damage to buds and berries when
they are sensitive to temperatures below freezing. There are two times of the
year when cranberry growers worry about frost, one is in the spring and the
other is in the fall. It is necessary to apply at least 0.10 inches of water per
acre per hour to provide basic frost protection. This will protect the plant to
about 24 degrees F. under calm conditions.
FLOODING
The other practice when cranberry growers use to water on the bog is
flooding. Flooding is so important in cranberry cultivation that bog or march
where flooding is not possible are no longer considered profitable.
Cranberry growers use this method as a management tool to protect the
plants from the cold, drying winds of winter, to harvest and remove fallen
leaves and also to control pests.
WINTER FLOOD
LAST WATER
25
have been used to protect the bog from spring frost and also to provide some
pest control. In modern cranberry production, holding late water refers to the
practice of withdrawing the winter flood in March then re-flooding the bog
in late April for one more month.
HARVEST FLOOD
WEED MANAGEMENT
Weeds may appear on a cranberry bog during the summer. Workers hand
pull weeds or wipe them with a manual or mechanical herbicide applicator.
BEES
Bees play a vital role in pollination, they are an essential part of cranberry
growing. Growers utilize one or two bee hives per acre of bog during bloom,
early June through mid-July, to pollinate the cranberry flowers.
26
PESTICIDE APPLICATIONS
FERTILIZING
Growers often will remove trees and bushes around the perimeter of the bog
to promote air movement which helps reduce frost risk and to cut down on
fungal growth. Removing brush and trees that serve as atlernative hosts for
weeds, diseases and insects also helps cut down on pesticide use.
SANDING
27
A layer of sand is applied to the cranberry bog every few years. This
common practice is done to stimulate growth, improving drainage and also
for controlling weed, insects and fungi. Sand can be applied in several
different ways. With dry sanding, sand is applied directly to the vines by a
bog vehicle or by hand. In ice sanding, the sand is applied on the ice that
forms on the winter flood. The third method is barge sanding. Where sand is
applied by using a barge on a flooded bog.
Since there are fewer than 1000 cranberry growers in North America, large
companies do not manufacture farm equipment for cranberry production.
Most of the cranberry growers use the winter months to design, build and
maintain their own existing equipment.
28
Availability And Usage
Suggestions For Fresh Cranberries
Fresh cranberries are available in stores mid-September through to
December. They are most abundant cranberries during peak harvest season -
from October and November. Cranberries may be stored in the refrigerator
for up to four weeks. Before using, sort and rinse the cranberries in running
water. Buy fresh cranberries in season, then freeze them to enjoy them all
year long. To freeze fresh cranberries, double wrap them in plastic without
washing. When using frozen cranberries in your recipes or formulas, no
thawing is necessary. In fact, the best results are obtained without thawing
them out.

Cranberry comes in a variety of forms for treating different conditions. It is
best to read and follow the product label directions before using any product.
32
Compositional & Nutrition
Information
Cranberries are considered a healthy fruit. They contain no cholesterol and
are virtually no fat and are very low in sodium. Various cranberry products
may contain substantial levels of dietary fiber and certain vitamins, as well
as a variety of photochemicals that may be beneficial to our health.
The typical values for the proximate composition of raw cranberries are
listed in TABLE 2. These numbers may tend to vary slightly from one crop
year to another, but are generally represented of average values. The
addition of cranberries to other food products may result in a substantial
nutritional contribution.

Cranberry Safety And
Drug Interaction Information
If you take different drugs for urinary or kidney problems, do not take
medicinal doses of cranberry concentrate. Do not use cranberry as a
substitute for antibiotics during an acute urinary infection.
35
Consumer Awareness
Because of the long standing belief that drinking cranberry juice helps UTIs,
consumers are already aware of the health promoting aspects of cranberries.
Recent studies which confirm this effect and establish additional benefits,
will serve to reinforce the perception, which consumers have regarding the
healthy attitudes of cranberries.
36
Cooking With Cranberries
This cherry little fruit adds more than just a zip to your meals and to your
backing. It is very high in fiber, has just 25 calories per cup, and it
37
provides over 10% of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C.
Cranberries are also low in sodium and are a source of Vitamin A and B,
Calcium, Iron and Phosphorus.
AN AMERICAN SPECIALTY
Cranberries in North America are one of the few fruits that is a native of
North America. In fact, long before the Pilgrims came to America and
landed at Plymouth Rock, cranberries were a staple in the diets of American
Indians.
Cranberry juice was used by the Indians to dye rugs and blankets also some
clothing. They made poultices from unripe berries, and even believed that
the berries had a special powers to calm the nerves.
Special powers aside, one thing is certain, that is cranberries taste great.
