Nutrition Tip

Native to North America, cranberries are nutrient-packed berries. Unlike other berries, cranberries are rarely eaten raw due to their sour taste. Cranberries are an excellent source of fiber, vitamins C, E, and K, and provide additional phytonutrients like antioxidants. They are available fresh, dried, and canned, and are a great addition to yogurts, salsa, side dishes, and on top of salads.
