About Cranberries
Cranberries are small, tart berries commonly sold fresh, frozen, dried, or cooked. Their colour is typically deep red when ripe, and the berries have a firm skin and sharply sour flavour; sweetness and texture depend on ripeness and processing.
They are used in sauces, baked goods, drinks, and preserved products. Fresh berries are firm, while dried or cooked forms are softer and often sweetened. The name alone does not specify a variety or whether the product contains added sweeteners.
