MILWAUKEE - An appetite is emerging overseas for cranberries, a staple in American diets since long before the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock.
The craving is so strong that Cheryl Urban of Wisconsin Rapids, a cranberry grower who also processes the crops of six other growers, said 30 percent of her business' sales will go to foreign markets this year. In 2001, she had no overseas sales.
"It was just a matter of getting the message out about cranberries," Urban said. "It's becoming a staple for them just as it is for us."
