What are dried cranberries?

Cranberries are small, red berries that grow on low shrubs in cold climates and have been used in traditional cuisine and natural health care for centuries. The drying process concentrates the fruit's natural sugar content and creates an intense flavour while making the berries easy to store and transport. Targroch’s version of dried cranberries retains the characteristic tartness and sweetness that make cranberries popular in both sweet and savoury dishes.

These dried berries are a practical ingredient for home use, perfect for mixing into breakfast cereals, granola, baked goods, salads, or eating straight from the bag as an energy-rich snack. Their long shelf life makes them an excellent pantry staple for health-conscious consumers.

Active ingredients & nutritional value

Cranberries are naturally rich in several essential nutrients that make them a valuable addition to a balanced diet. These small berries contain natural antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that contribute to a healthy lifestyle.

Vitamin C is one of the most important components in cranberries. This vitamin is vital for many bodily functions and contributes to normal immune system function. Vitamin C also plays a role in collagen formation and is a powerful antioxidant that helps the body manage daily oxidative stress from the environment and metabolism.

Cranberries also contain natural flavonoids and polyphenol antioxidants. These plant-based compounds are naturally present in the fruit’s structure and are responsible for the deep red colour. Antioxidants help the body maintain cell health by neutralising free radicals that occur during normal metabolic activity.

Minerals such as manganese and copper are also found in cranberries. Manganese is important for normal skeletal development and metabolic function, while copper contributes to normal iron metabolism. These trace elements are essential even in small amounts.

Cranberries also contain natural organic acids that give them their characteristic tart flavour. These acids can support normal digestion and contribute to balanced oral hygiene when consumed as part of a varied diet.
