Sugar-free cranberries with natural pineapple juice, Cranberry, (Vaccinium subg. Oxycoccus) ID: 676-55

Cranberry thrives in Northern Europe, but also in North America and can reach a height of 1.20 m. It is said that the name of the plant comes from the pink color of its flowers which look like a crane head (crane in English).
The cultivation of cranberries for commercial purposes began in the 19th century, but the Indians used it many centuries earlier to decorate their feathers and dye various fabrics.

One of the key ingredients in cranberries is Vitamin C, which helps build the body's connective tissues and bones and strengthens the body's defenses to protect us from infections.

Cranberries are also a good source of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3) and beta carotene (provitamin A), which is converted to vitamin A in the body. The main minerals in the berry are potassium, calcium and magnesium.

The sour taste of cranberries is due to the acids of the fruit, which include the analgesic salicylic acid, the active ingredient of aspirin.

Its vibrant color comes from the high levels of flavonoids, substances with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action, and anthocyanins, which protect against blood infections.
