Product Description

 

Did you know that cranberries don't actually grow in water, as many people assume? Instead, they grow in what are known as "bogs" - specially designed beds made up of various materials like sand, peat, and gravel. These bogs have to meet specific conditions for the cranberry vines to grow and survive, like having an acidic soil, a consistent supply of fresh water for irrigation, and the ability to periodically flood. The harvesting process for cranberries can also vary between dry and wet methods. It's fascinating to learn about the unique environment and processes that go into producing this delicious and nutritious fruit.

EDEN Organic Dried Cranberries are more than just a tasty addition to your snack collection - they're a symbol of traditional farming techniques and a rich Native American heritage. These cranberries are native to North America, and grown organically on family-owned cranberry bogs in Québec, Canada. But what really sets them apart is the unique and careful way they're harvested. Wet harvesting is a technique that's been used for centuries, and involves flooding the cranberry bog with water and using a special machine called a water reel to loosen the cranberries from their vines. Once all the berries have floated to the surface, skilled harvesters wade out into the bog to gather them up. It's a time-honored process that yields some of the juiciest and most flavorful cranberries out there. A team of experts uses a specialized device to corral the juicy and succulent berries, plucking them from the field and creating a thick, red carpet of deliciousness. The berries are then transported to a top-of-the-line processing station, where they are meticulously sorted, cleaned, and quick-frozen for ultimate freshness. Later, when it's time to dry the cranberries, they are immersed in organic apple juice concentrate, allowing them to soak up just the right amount of sweetness. After a thorough rinse, they are gently heated, coated in a light mist of organic sunflower oil, and dried to perfection. Once complete, these shelf-stable wonders will tantalize your taste buds without any need for refrigeration.

The cranberry has a rich history originating in North America with the native Americans. It served as a valuable source of food, a coloring agent for rugs and clothing, and a medicinal plant for treating arrow wounds. With names such as 'sasamanesh', 'ibimi', and 'atogua', the cranberry held significant cultural value to many tribes. To the Delaware Indians, it symbolized peace, and it was believed to have calming powers. The fruit's name, 'cranberry', was given by early Dutch and German settlers due to its resemblance to the head and bill of a Sandhill crane. The history of the cranberry is a testament to its diverse uses and enduring cultural significance.

Cranberries have long been rumored to possess numerous health benefits, particularly for improving urinary tract health. However, it's only recently that scientific research has begun to reveal just how potent they can be. Bursting with nutrients like antioxidants and other natural compounds, cranberries are an excellent choice for anyone looking to prioritize their health. In fact, according to the USDA, cranberries have one of the highest phenolic contents out of the 20 most common fruits tested. To determine the antioxidant capacity of different foods, the USDA employs the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity system (ORAC). These findings serve as further proof that cranberries are much more than just a seasonal fruit. The USDA conducted tests to evaluate how different foods and substances combat oxygen free radicals, and discovered the antioxidant potency of each compound. Among the many contenders, cranberries stood out with an impressive ORAC value of 1,750. This little fruit made history by becoming the first to receive a health claim certification in France, highlighting its significant health benefits.
