Description

Frozen concentrated cranberry juice is a natural ingredient obtained by extracting and subsequently concentrating cranberry juice (Vaccinium macrocarpon), followed by a freezing process to preserve its freshness and properties. This concentrate maintains the characteristic, slightly tart and sweet flavor of the cranberry, providing an intense and refreshing touch to various culinary preparations.

The cranberry is native to North America, where it has been traditionally used both in cooking and for its health benefits. Frozen concentrated cranberry juice is common in recipes ranging from beverages, desserts, and dressings to marinades and sauces, due to its ease of use and high flavor concentration.

Properties: This concentrate is rich in antioxidants, especially proanthocyanidins, which help combat free radicals. It also contains vitamins C and E, and anti-inflammatory compounds that may contribute to urinary and cardiovascular system health. Being frozen, it is preserved for longer without losing its nutritional value or flavor.

In different Latin American countries, this ingredient may also be known as frozen cranberry juice concentrate, frozen cranberry pulp, or simply cranberry concentrate. It is essential in recipes that seek to intensify the cranberry flavor without adding excess liquid.
