Cranberries are low, creeping shrubs or vines with small evergreen leaves. The fruit is a berry that is larger than the leaves of the plant.

Traditionally associated with Thanksgiving, dried Cranberries are available year round and add a wonderful zest to winter stuffing, rice pilaf and summer salads. Cranberries are a great source of Vitamin C and provide certain health benefits to the cardiovascular system and immune system. Our Cranberries are mechanically dried and contain no sulfites.
