Cranberry – in Carinthia the fruits are called “Grantn”
Thecranberry– Latinvaccinium vitis-idaea– belongs to the heather family (ericaceae).
Originally from Eurasia, the wild form of the cranberry thrives in the Northern Hemisphere. It thrives on mountain meadows, moors, heathlands, and open coniferous forests. The cranberry is now cultivated worldwide. The red fruits are often preserved for their high mineral and vitamin content. Fresh, the berries have a strong taste. The food industry processes its ripe, red fruits into jams, compotes, syrups, and juices.
The lingonberry should not be confused with the cranberry, better known as the "cranberry." While they both belong to the heather family, their fruits are not the same. The North American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) and the cranberry known here as the "large-fruited cranberry" are much larger and also differ in flavor.
Cranberries contain tannins, arbutin, salidrosite, flavonoids, vitamins (B group, C, vitamin A precursors), minerals (potassium, magnesium, iron), fruit acids and pectin.
This evergreen creeping perennial can grow up to 30 cm tall. It spreads up to 80 cm by underground runners. Its branches bear glossy, dark green leaves with slightly curled edges.
Flowering begins in mid-spring and lasts through summer. The lovely, pitcher-shaped bell flowers range in color from white to pink.
In late summer, the fruits turn bright red. The flesh is white and contains brown seeds. In recent years, the berries have been discovered as a natural anti-aging agent. Their high antioxidant content is said to stimulate cell renewal. Cranberry juice has become a trendy drink.
