Cranberries as a superfood

Cranberries are red sour berries that grow in cooler areas of North America (larger berries) and Northern Europe (smaller berries). They are rarely eaten fresh because they have a very sharp and sour taste. That’s why we consume them dried, as juice, powder or its extract is added to the food supplements. 

Many people will say that cranberries are a superfood as they are rich in vitamins and bioactive plant compounds such as quercetin, myricetin, peonidin, ursolic acid and A-type proanthocyanidins.

Research shows that nutrients found in cranberries are linked to a lower risk of urinary tract infection. Even Native Americans used it as a treatment for bladder and kidney diseases.
