In México "blueberries" don't have a translated name. They're just "blueberries" (pronounced "bluberris").

Cranberries have been massively introduced in our markets only since* a couple of years ago, mostly dried and in bottled juice, rarely fresh.
*Did I have it right at last, Perikles? :crossfingers:

I'm not quite comfortable with the wording ... but ONLY noticed it because you pointed it out. It's really subtle. I might re-word it así: "Cranberries were introduced into our markets only a few years ago..." or maybe "Cranberries have been massively promoted in our markets for only the past few years..."

Perikles - how about BrE?

You are quite correct, BrE as well. By the way, I didn't think the difference was that subtle, probably because I'm looking out for trouble. :wicked::wicked:

Hay varios tipos de arándanos (vaccinium): v. myrtillus es el azul; el arándano rojo es el oxycoccus; el americano, el v.corymbosum. Hay alguno más.

Son útiles para las afecciones del tracto urinario.

YES! Cranberry juice is something the doctor prescribes for a UTI. Thanks for the specifics, Irmamar.

You're welcome. I don't believe in traditional medicine (we say "medicina tradicional" to the one the doctors practice), but in the alternative one (medicina alternativa). :)

Sometimes natural medical treatments are called "homeopathic" treatments.
