Curiosities:

Cranberry: Cranberries, or red huckleberries, are native to North America and have a fascinating history. Scientifically known as Vaccinium macrocarpon, they were widely used by indigenous peoples, who considered them not only an essential food but also a plant with healing properties. Cranberry berries were often used to make syrups, tinctures, and even as a natural dye. Today, cranberries are one of the most valuable agricultural products in North America.

Mate: Mate, with its caffeine-rich leaves, is a plant native to South America that was considered sacred by indigenous peoples, especially the Guaranis. Scientifically known as Ilex paraguariensis, mate has a rich history of ritual and social use, consumed in ceremonies and offering a symbol of hospitality. Over time, it spread throughout Latin America, especially in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, becoming a true regional tradition.

Hibiscus: Hibiscus, with its vibrant petals and slightly acidic flavor, is a flower with roots in ancient times. Scientifically known as Hibiscus sabdariffa, this plant was widely used in ancient Egypt, where its infusions were seen as natural remedies, and the flower was associated with the goddess Isis, symbolizing beauty and fertility. Hibiscus also spread across the Middle East and Asia, where it is consumed as a refreshing drink, especially in hot climates.
