Afin rosu, merisor - Vaccinium macrocarpon 'Early Black'

Vaccinium macrocarpon Early Black is a variety of American blueberry, also known as cranberry. This variety originates from North America, where it grows in temperate climate regions and thrives best in acidic, moist soils rich in organic matter.

Early Black is a popular variety because it is one of the first cranberry types to ripen, bearing dark-colored fruit and having high yield. The fruits are round, medium to large in size, with a dark black color when ripe. They are valued for their tart yet sweet taste and are used in various food products such as juices, jams, jellies, sauces, and drinks.

In recent years, cranberry has become known for its health benefits, especially due to its high content of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. The fruits have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties and may help prevent urinary tract infections and heart diseases.
