10 Benefits of Cranberries
Benefit #8: Easy to Incorporate into the Diet
Cranberries are very easy to incorporate into the diet. Eating whole cranberries in their natural form is the best way to receive the benefits of the antioxidants and nutrients. Cranberries can be added to smoothies, juice, oatmeal, yogurts, baked goods, salads, or even as a sauce.
When purchasing cranberries, especially cranberry juice or cranberry jam, it is very important to look at the added sugar amount. As mentioned above, whole low sugar cranberries have many health benefits. However, some companies add 25–30 grams of sugar to their products. This can end up having a harmful effect on health rather than beneficial.
