Dehydrated cranberries - Cranberries

Cranberries

Dehydrated cranberries are tasty to eat as they are or used to enrich yogurt, cakes or ice cream.

Cranberries have many refreshing, astringent, tonic, and diuretic properties and contain numerous active ingredients, including vitamins A and C, citric and malic acid, blueberry, phosphorus, calcium, manganese. The action of these vitamins is appreciable especially with regard to the problems related to the capillaries, as these blueberries go to strengthen the walls. 

Compared to fresh fruit, dehydrated fruit loses water and concentrates fiber, sugars and minerals, thus becoming a nutritious, satiating and not excessively caloric snack. It is a product prepared from fresh blueberries, peeled, cut and subjected to dehydration by hot air.
