Note:
Cranberries are extremely tart and high in fiber, so eating that many wouldn’t just be unappetizing — it could upset your stomach. Instead, cranberries are best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, often mixed with other fruits, juices, or dried (which have more calories per gram due to sugar concentration).

Did you know?
Natural Urinary Support: Cranberries contain compounds called proanthocyanidins that may help prevent certain bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall, reducing the risk of UTIs.
They Float! Cranberries have small air pockets inside, which is why they bounce and float — a feature cleverly used during water harvesting.
Native Superberry: Cranberries are one of the few fruits native to North America and were used by Native Americans for food, medicine, and even dye.
Drawback
Too Tart to Eat Alone: Raw cranberries are very sour, so they’re rarely eaten plain — often sweetened heavily in juices or sauces.
Can Interact with Medication: Cranberries may interact with blood thinners like warfarin, so people on these meds should consult a doctor.
High Sugar in Processed Forms: Dried cranberries and cranberry juice often contain added sugars, which can reduce their health benefits.
