About This Food

Cranberries are small, tart berries widely consumed in North America, especially during the holiday season. The calories in cranberries is 50.6 per 100g. Cranberries are a good source of vitamin C and dietary fiber. They also offer antioxidants like quercetin. Due to their tartness, they are often consumed as juice, sauce, or dried. They might not be suitable for individuals prone to kidney stones due to their oxalate content. A reasonable serving is about 1/2 cup per day. Including cranberries may have a neutral impact on weight management if consumed in moderation. Try adding a handful to your oatmeal for a tangy twist.
