Dried cranberries, made by removing the moisture from fresh cranberries, are a popular addition to salads, baked goods, and snacks. Originating in North America, cranberries have a long history of use in traditional American and Indigenous cuisines. These ruby-red fruits are rich in antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, which provide potential health benefits like improved urinary tract health and reduced inflammation. Dried cranberries contain vitamins C and E, along with a small amount of dietary fiber. However, many commercially dried cranberries are often sweetened, significantly increasing their sugar content and calorie count. Unsweetened or minimally processed varieties are a healthier option. Despite being a concentrated source of nutrients, they are best enjoyed in moderation due to their sugar content. Perfect for adding a burst of tart sweetness to dishes, dried cranberries combine rich flavor with some nutritional perks.
