==Cranberries== The island is known for being one of only two [[Wadden]] islands where [[cranberry|cranberries]] grow, the other being the island of Vlieland. In 1840, a barrel of cranberries, apparently packed by sailors as an [[antiscorbutic]], washed ashore on the island's coast, and the islanders cultivated them for their own sailors. The cranberries, finding the environment favorable, established themselves on the island. Nowadays, the cranberry fields cover {{convert|0.48|km2|sqmi|3|abbr=on}} or {{convert|48|ha|acre|0|abbr=on}}. The cranberries are mainly sold to tourists and used by the island's restaurants and bakeries.
