Dried Cranberries

Dried Cranberries

Dried cranberries are a type of dried fruit made from fresh cranberries that are dehydrated to remove most of the water content. They are often sweetened with sugar, apple juice or other fruit juice to balance their tart flavor. Unlike the fresh version, dried cranberries have a longer shelf life and can be easily incorporated into various recipes.

Dried cranberries are a rich source of antioxidants, including flavonoids and phenolic acids. They also contain vitamin C, fiber, and manganese. They have shown to have potential benefits for preventing urinary tract infections, improving gut health, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer.
