Our hobby is to search for pro-health characteristics of plants that we offer for sale, and that we still have quite a lot available cranberry plants, we have explored this topic.
It turned out that the fruits of this small, evergreen shrub are practically irreplaceable! Such a handy first aid kit in the backyard garden. They contain vitamin C (resistance to disease), A (good eyesight and beautiful skin), P (affects metabolism), B1 (especially important for active people) and B2 (its deficiency can cause migraines). In addition, they are a source of magnesium, phosphorus, iodine, potassium, and iron, that is factors that also determine the state of our nerves and heart. Cranberry fruits have an antioxidant effect, i.e. they slow down aging and prevent so-called civilization diseases, they perform antiviral and antibacterial – they are natural antibiotics. So many benefits enclosed in such tiny fruits!
In conversations with customers, it is worth noting that raw, fresh fruits are a bit tart, but they are fantastic as dried, as well as in the form of jellies, juices, and jams. They ate a great addition to meats.
