About American cranberry
American cranberry is the fruit commonly sold as cranberry in North American markets. The berries are small, round, and red, with firm skin and a tart, sharp flavour. They are used fresh or frozen in cooking, and are also commonly dried or processed into sauces, juices, and other products. Their pronounced tartness means they are often combined with sweeteners in prepared foods.
This page refers to the fresh fruit, not sweetened dried cranberries or cranberry juice products. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish fresh berries from dried, sweetened, cooked, or juiced forms, as processing and added ingredients change the food being measured.
