In autumn, cranberries go on sale, which nature has generously endowed with vitamins and nutrients.
This berry is not used to make jam. It is more often used to make fruit drinks or to eat it raw to preserve the vitamins.

Benefits of cranberries
Berries are rich in more than just vitamin C.
Cranberries contain antioxidants that fight free radicals and protect the body's cells from damage and premature aging.
It is also a means of preventing infectious diseases of the urinary system.
At the same time, cranberries have a positive effect on the health of the cardiovascular system.
Eating berries leads to a decrease in the level of “bad” cholesterol in the blood.

Daily norm
The expert advises adults to limit themselves to 50 grams of fresh cranberries.
This is enough to replenish the daily requirement of vitamins C, K, as well as potassium and manganese.
