Each week Carrot Dirt has started selling an organic produce that is hard to find in stores (at least in Fort Smith, Arkansas). This week we have deep burgundy, antioxidant-rich cranberries.

Personally, I adore cranberries. I love everything about them. I love their color, firm texture, how they pop after being simmered for cranberry sauce and their beneficial health benefits.
So what is the "dirt" on cranberries? The Latin name for the cranberry plant is Vaccinium macrocarpon and is one of the native fruits of North America. This fruit is FULL of phytonutrients and antioxidants providing protection against the problems that develop with age. They also protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Cranberries are a super-food we should consume all year round. Stop by and grab some! Sealed tightly in a plastic container they will last for 2 months in the refrigerator.
Until next time, have a blessed day!
