Cranberry sauce is a tart and slightly sweet condiment traditionally served during holiday meals, particularly Thanksgiving in the United States. Made primarily from fresh or dried cranberries, sugar, and water, some recipes may include added ingredients like orange zest, spices, or nuts for extra flavor. Originating in North America, where cranberries are native, this dish complements savory meats like turkey and ham. Cranberries are packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber, making the sauce a source of beneficial nutrients. However, many preparations contain substantial amounts of added sugar to counter the natural tartness, which can increase calorie content and reduce overall healthiness. Opting for homemade versions with less sugar or using natural sweeteners can make cranberry sauce a healthier choice. With its bold flavor and vibrant color, this seasonal favorite provides a delightful boost of phytonutrients while brightening your plate.
