小紅莓 (學名：Vaccinium Macrocarpon)又稱蔓越莓、蔓越橘，屬於蔓越橘科長春藤植物。它長在矮藤上，是表皮富彈性的鮮紅色小圓果，原生於北美洲的植物，在每年9-10月期間採收。小紅莓在19世紀初開始為人們所栽種，北美洲的威斯康辛、馬薩諸塞州（麻省）、新澤西州、俄勒岡、華盛頓以及部分加拿大的地區……等，是主要栽種小紅莓的產地。

小紅莓營養豐富，而最令人趨之若鶩的莫過於它極高含量的抗氧化成份，尤其是用作泌尿道保健的A型原花青素(A-type PACs)。

抗黏附特性/ Anti-adhesive properties

大腸桿菌是泌尿道最常見的細菌，它的表面有突出如髮狀的纖毛，這些纖毛會黏附在泌尿系統上皮細胞上。

PACs主要作用於纖毛黏附物質上，從而起到抗黏附的功效。
