CRANBERRY TRIVIA

Wisconsin has been the world’s largest cranberry producer since the 1990s.

Only five per cent of Wisconsin cranberries are sold fresh. The rest is used for sauce, juice and other food.

Twenty per cent of cranberries are consumed during the holiday season.

When Europeans found the fruit, they named it “crane berry” because the blossom looked like the head of a sandhill crane.
