Several studies show that the total antioxidant capacity of the cranberry consistently ranks higher than most other berries.

Cranberries can help ward off urinary tract infections by preventing E. coli from adhering to the walls of the bladder.

Cranberries may have a potential role in lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease by delaying the suppressing LDL oxidation.

Naturally fat-free and with very little sodium, cranberries easily fit within the dietary guidelines.

One cup of cranberries has 4 grams of fiber, 65mg of potassium and 20% of the daily value for vitamin C.
