Tart but yet sweet, they pair up so well with veggies and potatoes for your holiday meal.
It has been said that Native Americans in 1620 had taught the Pilgrims about the nutritional benefit of this berry. The cranberry was also used for its beautiful, rich ruby color to dye clothing.
Rich in antioxidants and probiotic fibers, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals. Amazing for cardiovascular health and inflammation. Raising good cholesterol and blood pressure and improving digestion. High in Vit C, D, potassium, and iron. Wow! All that in a cranberry!
