Its naturally tangy taste adds a bright accent to both sweet and savory recipes. Convenient and easy to store, this powder makes it simple to enjoy the flavor of cranberries year-round in a wide variety of dishes.

Historically, cranberry fruits and leaves were used to support a healthy prostate, beneficial intestinal flora, blood sugar levels, and liver and kidney function.

Cranberry has recently been used as a traditional folk remedy to support a healthy urinary tract. Cranberry has also been linked to keeping a healthy viral and bacterial response. Additionally, cranberry has been shown to support healthy gums and teeth by possibly inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) production and activity.

Traditionally used by Native Americans for foods, fabric dyes, and medicine, cranberry became a popular crop harvested by early settlers when they discovered its unique uses.

When Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving in 1863, it became the iconic holiday food North Americans know today. Modern studies have shown cranberry may be an effective alternative to antibiotics for those who have built up a resistance. A study on antibiotic-resistant patients in 2014 showed that cranberry may have supported significant improvements and symptom relief without recurrence for more than a year.
