About Wild cranberry
Wild cranberry names a cranberry fruit described as wild-growing, without identifying its species. Cranberries are generally small, rounded berries with firm skins and a tart flavour; colour ranges from red to darker shades depending on the fruit and its ripeness. The catalogue name does not establish whether the ingredient is fresh or processed.
Cranberries may be used whole or prepared in foods such as sauces, drinks, baked goods, and preserves. Those uses do not imply any particular formulation for this record. The exact berry species, condition, and preparation are variable, so this should be understood as a broad wild cranberry ingredient rather than a specific product.
