(Food-Beverage-News.Com, November 16, 2015 ) Taylor, MI -- National Cranberry Day is celebrated on November 23rd of each year. Since the early 21st century there's been growing recognition of cranberries as a "superfruit" because of their nutrient content and antioxidant qualities.
The name cranberry derives from "craneberry", first named by early European settlers in America who felt the expanding flower, stem, calyx, and petals resembled the neck, head, and bill of a crane. Cranberries are also called "bounceberries" because they bounce when ripe. And in northeastern Canada they're called mossberries.
In North America, Native Americans were the first to use cranberries as food. Native Americans also used cranberries as a medicine to heal wounds and as a dye. Native Americans may have introduced cranberries to starving English settlers in Massachusetts who then incorporated the berries into traditional Thanksgiving feasts.
Today cranberry sauce is an essential part of American and Canadian Thanksgiving celebrations. But cranberries are a tasty ingredient in many foods besides the ubiquitous cranberry relish. For example Slick Cups™ Silicone Baking Cups includes a recipe for Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins, a welcome addition to any Thanksgiving table.
