Eskers are frequently several kilometres long and, because of their uniform shape, look like railway embankments . The term esker is derived from
128-571: A cause and effect relationship had not been established between cranberry consumption and reduced risk of UTIs. A 2022 review of international urology guidelines on UTI found that most clinical organizations felt the evidence for use of cranberry products to inhibit UTIs was conflicting, unconvincing or weak. Raw cranberries, cranberry juice and cranberry extracts are a source of polyphenols – including proanthocyanidins , flavonols and quercetin . These phytochemical compounds are being studied in vivo and in vitro for possible effects on

Most eskers are argued to have formed within ice-walled tunnels by streams that flowed within and under glaciers. They tended to form around the time of the glacial maximum , when the glacier was slow and sluggish. After the retaining ice walls melted away, stream deposits remained as long winding ridges. Eskers may also form above glaciers by accumulation of sediment in supraglacial channels , in crevasses , in linear zones between stagnant blocks, or in narrow embayments at glacier margins. Eskers form near

As in the case of landforms in general, there is a lack of any commonly agreed classification or typology of ridges. They can be defined and classified on the basis of a variety of factors including either genesis, morphology, composition, statistical analysis of remote sensing data, or some combinations of these factors. An example of ridge classification

There are 4–5 species of cranberry, classified by subgenus : Cranberries are related to bilberries , blueberries , and huckleberries , all in Vaccinium subgenus Vaccinium . These differ in having bell-shaped flowers, petals that are not reflexed, and woodier stems, forming taller shrubs. The name cranberry derives from

Vines can also be trained through dry picking to help avoid damage in subsequent harvests. Although most cranberries are wet-picked as described above, 5–10% of the US crop is still dry-picked. This entails higher labor costs and lower yield, but dry-picked berries are less bruised and can be sold as fresh fruit instead of having to be immediately frozen or processed. Originally performed with two-handed comb scoops, dry picking

There are various cases where inland dunes have developed next to eskers after deglaciation . These dunes are often found in the leeward side of eskers, if the esker is not oriented parallel to prevailing winds. Examples of dunes developed on eskers can be found in both Swedish and Finnish Lapland . Lakes may form within depressions in eskers. These lakes can lack surface outflows and inflows and have drastic fluctuations over time. Eskers are critical to
1152-678: Is that of Schoeneberger and Wysocki, which provides a relatively simple and straightforward system that is used by the USA National Cooperative Soil Survey Program to classify ridges and other landforms. This system uses the dominant geomorphic process or setting to classify different groups of landforms into two major groups, Geomorphic Environments and Other Groupings with a total of 16 subgroups. The groups and their subgroups are not mutually exclusive; landforms, including ridges, can belong to multiple subgroups. In this classification, ridges are found in

Cranberries for fresh market are stored in shallow bins or boxes with perforated or slatted bottoms, which deter decay by allowing air to circulate. Because harvest occurs in late autumn, cranberries for fresh market are frequently stored in thick walled barns without mechanical refrigeration. Temperatures are regulated by opening and closing vents in

In 1843, Eli Howes planted his own crop of cranberries on Cape Cod, using the "Howes" variety. In 1847, Cyrus Cahoon planted a crop of "Early Black" variety near Pleasant Lake, Harwich, Massachusetts. By 1900, 8,700 hectares (21,500 acres) were under cultivation in
1344-491: The Constitutional Convention . Jefferson sent back a number of books on the subject and in return asked for a gift of apples, pecans and cranberries. William Aiton , a Scottish botanist, included an entry for the cranberry in volume II of his 1789 work Hortus Kewensis .

With surplus cranberries and changing American households some enterprising growers began canning cranberries that were below-grade for fresh market. Competition between canners was fierce because profits were thin. The Ocean Spray cooperative

The Irish word was and is used particularly to describe long sinuous ridges, which are now known to be deposits of fluvio-glacial material. The best-known example of such an eiscir is the Eiscir Riada , which runs nearly the whole width of Ireland from Dublin to Galway ,
1600-863: The Middle Low German kraanbere (English translation, craneberry ), first named as cranberry in English by the missionary John Eliot in 1647. Around 1694, German and Dutch colonists in New England used the word, cranberry, to represent the expanding flower, stem , calyx , and petals resembling the neck, head, and bill of a crane . The traditional English name for the plant more common in Europe, Vaccinium oxycoccos , fenberry , originated from plants with small red berries found growing in fen (marsh) lands of England. American Revolutionary War veteran Henry Hall first cultivated cranberries in
1664-737: The Narragansett people of the Algonquian nation in the regions of New England appeared to be using cranberries in pemmican for food and for dye. Calling the red berries, sasemineash , the Narragansett people may have introduced cranberries to colonists in Massachusetts . In 1550, James White Norwood made reference to Native Americans using cranberries, and it was the first reference to American cranberries up until this point. In James Rosier's book The Land of Virginia there

Its height above the surrounding terrain can vary from less than a meter to hundreds of meters. A ridge can be either depositional , erosional , tectonic , or a combination of these in origin and can consist of either bedrock , loose sediment , lava , or ice depending on its origin. A ridge can occur as either an isolated, independent feature or part of
1856-412: The 1959 cranberry crop was tainted with traces of the herbicide aminotriazole . The market for cranberries collapsed and growers lost millions of dollars. However, the scare taught the industry that they could not be completely dependent on the holiday market for their products; they had to find year-round markets for their fruit. They also had to be exceedingly careful about their use of pesticides. After

Harvested cranberries float in the water and can be corralled into a corner of the bed and conveyed or pumped from the bed. From the farm, cranberries are taken to receiving stations where they are cleaned, sorted, and stored prior to packaging or processing. While cranberries are harvested when they take on their deep red color, they can also be harvested beforehand when they are still white, which
