MAHNAZ FOOD – LALE CRANBERRY 250G

Dried cranberries are made by partially dehydrating fresh cranberries, a process similar to making grapes into raisins. They are popular in trail mixes, salads, and breads, with cereals or eaten on their own delicious dried fruit that has a distinctive taste perfect for snacks and exceptional for muffins, breads, and cereals. Slightly sweetened.

Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins (PACs) that can prevent the adhesion of certain types of bacteria, including E. coli, associated with urinary tract infections to the urinary tract wall. The anti-adhesion properties of cranberry may also inhibit the bacteria associated with gum disease and stomach ulcers.

Dried cranberries contain the same nutrients as fresh cranberries (notably dietary fiber and antioxidants). However, commercial drying processes substantially reduce the amount of vitamin A and vitamin C. The nutrient density is also reduced if sugar is added.

Dried cranberries contain no cholesterol or saturated or trans fats. Consuming dried cranberries will supply very little amounts of an individual’s daily requirement for vitamins and minerals.

The most substantial daily amount supplied is the mineral manganese, at 5% of the daily recommended intake. Having 1/4 cup of dried cranberries will supply one serving of fruits and vegetables. The Canadian Food Guide recommends 7–10 servings of fruits and vegetables daily to reduce stroke, heart disease, and cancer risks.

Cranberries with minimal processing contain the highest amount of antioxidants,[10] although dried cranberries retain some antioxidants.
