Fresh Cranberries (340g)
Contrary to popular belief, cranberries do not grow in water. Fields are irrigated during spring and fall, primarily to protect them from frost, and during the growing season in dry periods. Then, during the harvest season, fields are flooded to facilitate fruit picking. Cranberries have four air-filled chambers enabling them to float. Once the plants are covered in water, a threshing machine removes the cranberries, which are pumped into trucks. Finally, the fields are flooded once more for winter. The ice cover protects cranberries from the cold.
