Fresh cranberries contain small air pockets that allow them to bounce when dropped. Farmers sometimes use this property to check the quality of harvested berries.

The bouncier the cranberry, the fresher it is likely to be. This unique characteristic has been used in the cranberry industry for many years. Science can even explain the behavior of fruit.
