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.

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?

I'm afraid not.

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.

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.
