Did you know?

It is not related to the true cranberry; it is the bright red fruit of the viburnum shrub, and the name comes only from the similar taste. Very tart, it mellows after the first frosts and is used for jellies and sauces. The single stone is large and flat.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
