- Fakta menarik
- The word "cranberry" is thought to derive from Low German "kraanbere" ("crane berry"); however, etymological sources indicate the name references cranes generically (and was even applied to herons/storks), not the Common Crane specifically — and the fancied resemblance is usually described as between the plant's stamens/beak-like flower parts and a crane's bill, not the neck and stalk as sometimes stated.
