Believe or not, cranberries are one of mother nature’s most potent superfoods. (Unfortunately, the same can’t be said after they’ve been doused with sugar/syrup to make your Thanksgiving turkey’s topping, dried and sweetened for your salads or pressed into juice). Rather, the whole berries (which are normally very tart) are chockful of phytonutrients called proanthocyanidins which confer antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits. In fact, whole cranberries may be one of the best cancer fighters compared to other fruits and berries.
Check your grocery store’s frozen isle for whole cranberries, or even whole, slightly sweetened ones like i did. Otherwise, you can probably find them whole in the fruit/veggie isle during the Fall season.
