Here’s a bird’s-eye view of a fall harvest. What are we looking at?
A Cranberries
B Apples
C Beets
Cranberries are harvested in late fall when the evergreen shrubs they grow on are flooded, making gathering easier as the berries float to the surface. With the help of lots of sugar, the sour berries are turned into juice and sauce, a staple of the Thanksgiving dinner table.
Cranberries’ role in American history goes back even further than Thanksgiving: They were a prized crop of Native Americans, who used them to make pemmican and introduced them to the settlers of New England.
The correct answer is Cranberries.
