DID YOU KNOW? The first time cranberries were cultivated was in 1816 by Captain Henry Hall of Dennis, MA (a Revolutionary War hero). It is a fact, however, that Native Americans were gathering and using cranberries long before that for such things as food (including a diuretic tea from the leaves), dyes for rugs and blankets, and medicine. They discovered, for example, that treating arrow wounds with raw cranberries helped to stop bleeding by contracting the tissue.
