The cranberry bush (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is a low-growing evergreen shrub with leathery leaves and bright red berries. This member of the heath family grows in mountains, forests and damp bogs from Alaska to Virginia. However, most of the commercial berries are produced in Massachusetts and Wisconsin.
Native Americans used cranberries for both food and medicine. The berries were enjoyed either raw or sweetened with maple sugar. In addition, they used them in sauces, breads and puddings, and used cranberries in poultices for treating wounds. Cranberry leaves were typically used for diarrhea and urinary disorders. The sailors during colonial days used cranberries to prevent scurvy.
Cranberries are among the top foods with proven health benefits, according to Amy Howell, a researcher at Rutgers University.
Cranberries are full of antioxidants, which protects cells from damage by unstable molecules called free radicals.
The National Institutes of Health is funding research on the cranberry’s effects on heart disease, yeast infections and other conditions, and other researchers are investigating its potential against cancer, stroke and viral infections.
I found a nice health benefit from The world’s Healthiest food:

Heart Shape Date & Hetian Jade Jujube Date
The jujube red date is an edible fruit and has high medical value. Jujube is rich in vitamins and contains many kinds of trace elements such as iron, zinc and cerium and so on.
The jujube also has the very high value for medicinal purposes. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that “the jujube is fruit of the spleen”. Date products have the function like diminishing inflammation, clearing blood and promoting blood circulation. It is believed that jujube has the tonic properties over the spleen, nourishing stomach, enriching blood and invigorating mind. The modern Chinese medicine research shows that both the big and small jujube are good for the spleen, but the big date’s merit is to reduce turbid, the small jujube’s merit is to strengthen the constitution, therefore the big date is used in medicine for treatment; The small jujube is not be the components of medicine and used for supporting body.
We carry both small ( seedless Heibei Heart Shaped jujube dates) and large date (XinJian Hetian Jujube Dates). Both types are the premium quality date with very small stone. Heart shaped jujube dates is already seedless. It has tight small body, chewy in texture. Xinjian Hetian jujube is large, soft and sweet with tiny seed. Both of them are delicious. You may use it for soup, rice porridge, meat dish, tea and even prepare it as a delicious no fat sweet snack.
Both dates are raw food, they should be thoroughly washed with tap water and cooked before eaten. We usually steam a bag of date for 20 minutes, and store the cooked jujube date in refrigerators to enjoy as snacks or add to various dishes.

Chrysanthemum flowers, called Ju Hua in Chinese, have been used in Chinese Medicine for centuries. Chrysanthemums have proven to be effective in treating allergies, congestion, suppressing hyperactive liver and improving eyesight. The modern medicine science have also proved upon research that chrysanthemum can help to lower blood pressure, remove cancer cells, expand the coronary artery and prevent bacterial contamination.
Chrysanthemum tea is one of China’s most popular Herbal teas. Since it is a common flower as well as a medicinal food, the Chinese has kept the practice of watching and tasting chrysanthemum ever since thousands of years ago. The effect of chrysanthemum tea is also elaborated in the book Bencao Gangmu written by Li Shizhen in Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 A.D.). Long-time drinking of the tea can help increase calcium in human body, regulate myocardial function and reduce cholesterol, which is especially good for people at middle or senior ages or for preventing the epidemic conjunctivitis. It’s also good for blurred vision and eye dryness caused by irascibility or excessive use of eye, particularly for those working with computers. Meanwhile, the chrysanthemum tea is rich in aroma and refreshing, which also helps to relax and relieve headache. It is believed that regular drink of Chrysanthemum tea can “lead to energetic body, better vision and hearing, alert brain and longevity”.
Chrysanthemum tea can be served hot or cold. Cold is an ideal drink for hot summer days to quench summer heat and to prevent sunstroke. It is also an excellent thirst quencher. Chrysanthemum tea can help to aid digestion when drunk with or after meals, especially when you had too much greasy fried, baked, or barbequed foods.
