“Marsh Berry” is the name of this photograph. American cranberry, Arandano Americano, Arandano trepador, bear berry, black cranberry, bog cranberry, Ericaceae (family), European cranberry, grosse moosebeere, isokarpalo, Kranbeere, Kronsbeere, large cranberry, low cranberry, marsh apple, mountain cranberry, moosebeere, mossberry, are closely related to the cranberry.
Vaccinium is a genus of shrubs in the plant Family Ericaceae including the cranberry, blueberry, loganberry, bilberry, and huckleberry. The genus contains about 450 species, which are found mostly in the cooler areas of the Northern Hemisphere
These various were taken on a trip to the community of Black Head this afternoon.
Cranberries are low, creeping shrubs or vines up to 10 cm tall (often less), with slender, wiry stems, not thickly woody, and small evergreen leaves. The flowers are dark pink
The cranberry family has a number of potential health benefits to humans such as:
-Urinary tract infection (prevention)
There are multiple studies of cranberry (juice or capsules) for the prevention of urinary tract infections in healthy women and nursing home residents
-Antifungal
Limited laboratory research has examined the antifungal activity of cranberry
-Antioxidant
Based on laboratory study, cranberry may have antioxidant properties
-Antiviral
Limited laboratory research has examined the antiviral activity of cranberry
Cancer prevention, dental plaque, kidney stones, and memory improvements are a few of the potential benefits of this wonderful berry.
I hope that this theory is correctly identified but I stand to be corrected.
