Wikipedia: Cranberry
Cranberries are a group of evergreen dwarf shrubs or trailing vines in the subgenus Oxycoccus of the genus Vaccinium. Cranberries are low, creeping shrubs or vines up to 2 meters (7 ft) long and 5 to 20 centimeters (2 to 8 in) in height; they have slender stems that are not thickly woody and have small evergreen leaves. The flowers are dark pink. The fruit is a berry that is larger than the leaves of the plant; it is initially light green, turning red when ripe. It is edible, but has an acidic taste.

Health benefits
A 2023 Cochrane systematic review of 50 studies concluded there is evidence that consuming cranberry products (such as juice or capsules) is effective for reducing the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women with recurrent UTIs, in children, and in people susceptible to UTIs following clinical interventions; there was little evidence of effect in elderly people, those with urination disorders or pregnant women.

“Cranberries are well known for their profound anti-septic role in healing urinary tract infections and yeast infections. That power comes from cranberries ability to fight streptococcus bacteria – because most of the time, chronic strep infections are behind these conditions. (Even though in yeast infections, the origin of the problem is misdiagnosed as fungal, really, the yeast is secondary.) And that’s the least of what these powerful little berries do. Out of all the foods on the table at Thanksgiving, that dish of cranberries is by far the most nutritious. Even if your cranberry sauce is canned and saturated with syrup, the medicinal factor of the cranberries overrides the downsides of the added ingredients. Cranberries are one of the ultimate foods for reversing gallbladder disease. If you are dealing with gallstones, there is nothing more powerful for dissolving them. Cranberries are also one of the most powerful liver cleansers on earth, and they are extremely helpful when you are trying to pass kidney stones with ease. They can even dislodge your earwax build up and help bring back hearing. Not to mention, cranberries are high in the antioxidants (such as anthocyanins) that help heal cardiovascular disease and arteriosclerosis. They also hold phytoestrogen compounds that disarm invading estrogens from outside sources such as plastics, environmental pollutants, pesticides, and other synthetic chemicals. Cranberries destroy these toxic hormones that are responsible for so many of women’s health conditions. Filled with compounds and agents that draw radiation out of your body, amino acids that protect connective tissue, enzymes that specifically detoxify your organs, and more than 50 trace minerals to address deficiencies you may not even know you have, cranberries also have anti-proliferative compounds that help hault the growth of bacteria, viruses, and anything Else harmful that may be growing inside of you. At the same time, cranberries provide potent stress assistance during your times of need. And if you are trying to lose weight, cranberries are another of your strongest allies. Consuming a bowl of cranberries daily will suppress your appetite and help you shed those extra pounds.” From “Life Changing Foods,” by Anthony William.

Overheard this on the Thanksgiving long weekend and still laughing. “Why so much cranberry sauce? Do you have a UTI? Does the turkey have a UTI?”

Cranberries are delicious! It’s kind of a shame they only exist in cuisine around Thanksgiving and if you have a UTI
