What is National Eat A Cranberry Day?
National Eat a Cranberry Day, on November 23rd, encourages us to enjoy a piece of the bright red cranberry. But prepare yourself!
Cranberries are a species of evergreen dwarf shrubs, or trailing vines, that grow up to 7 feet long and 8 inches high in acidic bogs throughout the northern hemisphere's cooler regions. Their stems are slender and wiry, and they have tiny evergreen leaves.
The cranberry flowers are dark pink with very distinct reflexed petals, leaving the style and stamens fully visible and pointed forward. The berry of the cranberry plant is larger than the leaves and is initially white, but when ripe, it turns into a deep red.
