Cranberry CRAVING • ’Tis the season for this festive fruit! Familiar to us in delicious sauces or jellies on holiday tables, cranberries can also be eaten raw in salads, baked into breads and muffins or sipped as juice. Native to the banks of marshes and wetlands in northeastern North America, the berries are harvested when they float to the surface of the water in the fall and are exposed to more direct sunlight, which adds to their nutritional value. This tart superfood is full of healthful vitamins, minerals and other powerful phytonutrients.
