Description

Frozen cranberries are small fruits with an intense red color and a slightly acidic flavor that are preserved through a freezing process to maintain their freshness, texture, and nutritional value. These cranberries primarily come from North America, where they grow wild in cold, swampy areas, though they are also cultivated in different regions of the world.

In cooking, frozen cranberries are very versatile and are used in a wide variety of recipes, from desserts like pies and muffins to sauces to accompany meats or salads. Thanks to their cold preservation, they are available year-round and retain a large part of their antioxidant and vitamin properties.

Properties: They are an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber, and natural antioxidants, especially proanthocyanidins, which help promote urinary health and strengthen the immune system.

In different Hispanic American countries, cranberries may also be known as mortiños (in regions of Colombia and Ecuador) or simply frozen cranberries, although the most common and recognized term is cranberries.
