Many people drink cranberry juice. Others might buy dried cranberries to add to their daily cereal or bakes.
Because cranberries are extremely tart, they are not very easy to eat so most of us find we have to add plenty of sugar to make them palatable.
Most of the nutrients present in cranberries exist in the berry’s skin. Notably, polyphenols such as quercetin, peonidin and myricetin and the triterpene compound ursolic acid can be lost during the process of cooking or juicing cranberries.
This is why cranberry vitamins like Holland and Barrett cranberry tablets are a reliable alternative to whole berries and juices.
