Cranberries are a red, tart berry that can be blended into smoothies, made into juices or turned into baked goods. They're one of the most popular berries in the United States and are commonly consumed over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. While you won't often eat fresh cranberries on their own, they're a popular snack once dried. Like other dried fruits, cranberries are a good source of fiber and antioxidants. This delicious dried fruit has a distinctive taste perfect for snacks and exceptional for muffins, breads, and cereals. Slightly sweetened.
