Cranberries are small, tart, bright-red berries native to North America, often harvested in the fall and widely used in traditional cuisines, especially during holidays like Thanksgiving. These berries are rich in nutrients, including vitamin C, fiber, and manganese, making them a powerful addition to a balanced diet. They are well-known for their high levels of antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, which can help combat oxidative stress and support overall health. Cranberries are most famously linked to promoting urinary tract health due to compounds that may prevent harmful bacteria from adhering to the bladder walls. They are typically consumed as juice, dried snacks, or sauces, though many forms may include added sugars. Opting for unsweetened varieties can help you enjoy their benefits without sacrificing dietary goals. Tart and tangy, cranberries are as versatile in recipes as they are nutritious.
