Cranberries may indeed have 50 calories per cup, but they are actually negative calorie fruits. These are commonly made into cranberry sauce late in the year, in which case the calories do add up because sugar is usually added since cranberries are tart. Still, cranberry juice is especially healthy, particularly for kidney health. Cranberries are also high in vitamin C and manganese. The GLI for cranberries is 2. Incidentally, it is easy to make a healthier alternative to store-bought cranberry sauce.
I’m not a fruit person either….but that’s good to know!
I like making cranberry sauce every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts.
I have had to drink cranberry juice for ailments, not my favorite but I tolerated it.
I rather like some of the mixed cranberry drinks, like cranberry-raspberry.
Yes, that one is not as tart as the original.
