el arándano

Hola Erica D.

Yes, but it depends on the region and the type of berry.

In most of Spain, “arándano” traditionally refers to blueberry. However, in many parts of Latin America, especially in everyday usage, “arándano” can also be used for cranberry, particularly in products like jugo de arándano (cranberry juice).

To be more precise:

• Arándano azul = blueberry

• Arándano rojo = cranberry

So technically, yes, arándano can refer to cranberry, but often you’ll see it specified as arándano rojo to avoid confusion.
