Nutrition:  Cranberries are high in fiber and rich in antioxidants.  They are ntibacterial and studies show that they can help treat and prevent urinary tract infections. Recent research has also linked cranberries to the prevention of kidney stones and ulcers.

In Season:  Fresh cranberries are available from October through December. Some markets also carry frozen cranberries year-round.

What to Look For:  Look for bright-colored, firm cranberries in the produce section. Avoid bags that have brown or shriveled berries at the bottom.

How to Store:   Store in the original packaging for up to two weeks in the refrigerator, or up to one year in the freezer. To prep, rinse and discard any discolored or soft berries, if frozen, there's no need to thaw before use.

Did you know?  Unsweetened cranberry juice makes an excellent mouthwash — studies show it can help kill bacteria and fight cavities.
