CRANBERRY
"The cool beauty from the Far
North"
Cool,
damp summers and comparatively mild, but still frosty, winters cause the
undemanding cranberry plant to thrive. Almost infinitely long shoots ensure
this berry supplier's fertility on the barren ground of the Northern
hemisphere.
America's
native inhabitants called the aromatic cranberries "Ibimeh" or
"Sassamanesh". They played an important role as a source of nutrition
and as a medicine.
With
their light, firm, tasty flesh, the deep-red berries contain valuable
substances. They have a slightly tangy, fruity taste accompanied by a discrete
sweetness.
Is
your mouth starting to water? The fruits' aroma and active substances are
isolated from the cranberry extract. The biological active substances are
therefore combined with the incomparable fragrance of the cranberries to form
the unique "Cranberry" wellness ritual: Vitalizing beauty
hand-in-hand with a pleasant, fruity-tangy aroma. Cranberries
The
less well-known relative of the comparatively smaller cranberry is the
mossberry or American cranberry (Lat. Vaccinium macrocarpon). The North American
Indians used them to dye blankets and headdresses, but also to treat arrow
wounds and to enhance the taste of meat. Whether consciously or unconsciously -
this indigenous people also protected itself against bacterial infections, long
before the discovery of antibiotics. The antimicrobial effect has since been
proved: Bacteria are rendered harmless by proanthocyane (condensed tannins), a
substance contained in mossberries.
Mossberries
also contain sodium, phosphor and a high content of potassium and vitamin C,
making their anti-oxidative and "rejuvenation" effect so remarkable.
