Dried orange-flavored cranberries

Orange-flavored dried cranberries are dehydrated red cranberries that have been lightly infused or coated with orange essence or zest, adding a citrusy and sweet touch that enhances their original flavor. These small, oval fruits are known for their chewy texture and sweet-tart taste, enhanced with the freshness of orange, making them ideal for use in a wide variety of recipes such as salads, desserts, breads, smoothies, and as a healthy snack.

The cranberry is native to North America, where it has been traditionally consumed for its nutritional and antioxidant properties. The dried version with orange flavor is an innovation that combines the benefits of cranberries with the aroma and natural vitamin C of oranges, making this ingredient not only delicious but also nutritious.

Properties: Orange-flavored dried cranberries are an excellent source of dietary fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins, especially vitamin C and flavonoids, which help strengthen the immune system and combat cellular aging. Additionally, being dehydrated, they provide quick energy, making them an ideal complement for recipes seeking a balance between flavor and health.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: depending on the region, dried cranberries may be called arándanos rojos deshidratados or simply arándanos (although the latter term is also used for fresh ones). In some countries, they are known as cranberries secos or arándanos con naranja when referring to the citrus-flavored version.
