Organic cranberry
GREEN WAYS

Vaccinium macrocarpon, also called the American or Canadian cranberry, belong to the same family as the blueberry (family Ericaceae). They can be most often found in areas of central and eastern Canada or in the northeast and middle east of the United States of America.

Green Ways Organic Cranberries are grown as part of an agroforestry production system in the US state of Washington. 

The forest cranberry, i.e. grown in its natural environment, is much richer in nutrients than the varieties growing in home gardens. The forest cranberry requires an acidic soil, and this is best formed in a forest environment. 

We use a specific technology of ventilated drying on a conveyor belt to dry the raw materials. Afterwards, they are dried in a thin layer in a “draft¨ for several hours, in the form of whole berries. 

The goal is to get all the valuable substances, many of which are in the skin of the berry and just under it. The air drying temperature is up to 35 degrees Celsius. Then, the dried fruits are finally ground to a fine powder. It also contains small grains, so the structure of the powder is of a rougher consistency.
