At the table with Lucie - Kitchen Hacks - Kale
What once protected sailors from scurvy is now a prized superfood: Cranberries combine centuries-old medicine with contemporary culinary arts. As a vitamin bomb, medicinal fruit, or innovative ingredient – this small berry surprises with its diverse talents. In Latvia's expansive bogs, Irena Riežniece and her family tend one of Europe's oldest cranberry farms, where the fruits are still harvested by hand. Lucie Fischer-Chapalain is discovering the berry's culinary potential: She creates protein-rich energy bars, savory cranberry mole for tortilla chips, and spicy cranberry crackers. The bog fruit is transforming from a traditional medicinal plant into a modern taste experience – nature reinterpreted.
