Summary: These zingy berries live in bogs (wet fields not toilets!) and can be found in cool northern hemisphere climates. Cranberries are used in juices, as dried fruits and of course as cranberry sauce! There are 3 types to my knowledge with the American Cranberry being the one I use, and to be honest I’ve never tried the others, so if you do; let us know what you think. Storage In the fridge, in a sealed container, they can keep longer if cooked or kept immersed in alcohol. Usage In the smoothie maker as they are (make sure you de-stalk and wash them if they are not already) Nutritional Info Full of antioxidants and Vit C, can kill bad bacteria and encourage good bacteria. They are useful in maintaining a healthy bladder and urinal tract. Some people even use it as an aid against paralysis of the spinal chord. Cranberries also help fight oral plaque. Tips If you keep your cranberries in alcohol this can make a nice drink after the berries are removed. You may even add the alcohol to your smoothie for an extra twist (if you are of legal age!!!)
