Personally, I don’t like cranberry sauce. Esp. the type that comes in a can and comes out all coagulated and junk.
I like dried cranberries, though, and incorporate them into baking and even into my nut mixes (see yesterday’s post!), or sometimes just eat a small handful. As a hip chick, you probably already know that cranberries-juice,whole, or even in supplement form are good for urinary tract health. Many patients are “prescribed” to take them as part of their vitamin regime if they are prone to UTI’s (<—boooo!!). Now I just read that they are good for reducing vascular inflammation, good for heart health, good for reducing free radical damage in the body, etc. And they contain a good amount of quercetin (say what? No, really!) which I’ve been supplementing with per suggestion of my doctor, for the last 6 months.
Tip: Take you cranberries with leafy greens or your cranberry supplements with your other Vit. C’s.
