Cranberries might be small but they sure are mighty in taste and nutrient power. These little red fruits that grow on vines in a bog are often forgotten about in the berry family, although cranberries are related to blueberries. Yet they possess serious health superpowers.
One cup of raw cranberries provides 4 grams of dietary fiber and one-quarter of vitamin C needs in less than a 50-calorie package. Plus, cranberries are rich in vitamins A and K, potassium and antioxidants. In fact, cranberries contain more antioxidants than many other fruits. Together these nutrients provide the following health benefits:
Those are some seriously potent powers, right?! And in honor of today being National Eat A Cranberry Day, I’m sharing my recipe for one of my favorite fall breads, Cranberry Quick Bread with Orange and Ginger. Well, one of my favorite breads period. But, it is fall flavors at its finest. I love making this the week of Thanksgiving. Plus, it’s a perfect way to use up that open bag of fresh or frozen cranberries.
Each bite of this bread is bursting with tart cranberries and sweet orange and ginger flavors. Plus, it’s a little like a bread hug. And, couldn’t we all use a little more love and sweetness this holiday season?
Wishing you all a healthy, safe and tasty Thanksgiving!
