Raw cranberries

Raw cranberries are small, deep red berries known for their tart and refreshing flavor. They are consumed fresh in salads, desserts, jams, and are also used in sauces to accompany meats and traditional dishes.

Their primary origin is in North America, where they have been cultivated and harvested since indigenous times. Currently, they are grown in various regions of the world with temperate and humid climates.

From a nutritional standpoint, raw cranberries are an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamin C, dietary fiber, and anti-inflammatory compounds. They are attributed with properties that promote urinary tract health, help prevent infections, and contribute to improving the immune system.

In the Spanish of Latin America, besides "arándanos rojos," they are also commonly known as mora azul in some regions, although this term may vary. It is important not to confuse them with blueberries, which are a different fruit.
