Characteristics
Cranberries (Vaccinum macrocarpon) originating from North America are valued as a strong natural antioxidant. They contain natural minerals, vitamins, trace elements, organic acids, dietary fibre and polyphenols. The native inhabitants of America had already used them for their strong anti-inflammatory properties. Nowadays, they are frequently applied in alternative medicine. The cranberry powder, thanks to the location of its origin and method of processing, is characterized by a high content of proanthocyanidins and reaches remarkably high value on the ORAC scale (a scale measuring the antioxidant capacity of foods).
They have outstandingly high content of natural minerals, vitamins, micronutrients, organic acids, fibre and polyphenols. On the top of it, they contain naturally occurring antioxidants assisting in the cell and tissue protection against free radicals.
