The Merry Berry Series: Cranberries

Next up in our berry series: The Jolly Cranberry!



Cranberries were used as fruits and medication throughout centuries. Their tart taste may not appeal to everyone, but they can be paired with some foods to balance flavors. Like its cousins, the cranberry is high on antioxidants and help eradicate free radicals in our bodies. In this way, we are able to boost our immunity against diseases. 


Get smiling with cranberries. According to research, cranberries may prevent bacteria buildup in gums and around teeth. It may also help prevent cavities. Do watch out for the high sugar content in cranberry juices though. Eat cranberries instead to gain the full effects of their healing abilities.


Liven up salads with a sprinkling of cranberries. Fold them into cookie or cake batters to make 'em better!
