Cranberry juice is also called cranberry juice or cranberry juice. Cranberries are a fruit native to North America known for their bright red color, tart flavor and versatility in product manufacturing. Key cranberry products include cranberry juice, dried cranberries, cranberry sauce, frozen cranberries, cranberry powder and dietary supplements containing cranberry extract.
Cranberry juice's tart flavor comes from its mixed polyphenol content, including flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins, phenolic acids and ellagitannins.
Cranberry juice is 86% water, 26% carbohydrates, and less than 1% fat or protein. A standard cup of cranberry juice, weighing 248 grams or 8 ounces, provides 107 calories and contains vitamin C as an ingredient to maintain freshness, as well as other micronutrients that may be added during the manufacturing process. With the exception of vitamin C and folate, which contain more than 10% of the daily value, a typical serving of cranberry juice does not provide significant amounts of micronutrients. Half a cup of cranberry juice provides 60 calories and 20% of the daily value of vitamin C.
