Cranberry = குருதிநெல்லி (Kuruthi Nelli)
This is the most widely used and understood name, literally meaning “blood gooseberry.” It refers to the cranberry’s bright red color.
These small, tart berries are known for their health benefits, particularly in maintaining urinary tract health and preventing urinary tract infections. They are low in calories and are commonly found in colder regions. While cranberries are native to North America, they are now cultivated in various countries around the world. Their medicinal properties include aiding in the prevention of kidney stones and providing relief from urinary discomfort.
