We discuss the impressive health benefits of cranberries, from boosting the immune system to improving cholesterol levels. Lindsey walks us through the entire cranberry harvesting process, detailing how this iconic fruit is collected and prepared, and how technology has evolved to make the process more efficient. We also dive into Wisconsin's status as the leading producer of cranberries, examining the state's unique climate, and geography. Lindsey also shares insights into the economic and cultural significance of cranberries in Wisconsin. Plus, we touch on the future of cranberry farming and some creative ways cranberries are being used beyond the traditional sauce. Check out her Grandma Sandy's homemade cranberry sauce recipe below!
