Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Choose cranberries that are firm, plump and slightly shiny, avoiding any that are discolored, dull, have whitish spots on them or are wrinkled and soft. Highly perishable, wash cranberries just before use and keep them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. A little tip, you can dehydrate cranberries by simply placing them on a baking sheet in a warm oven, with the door ajar until they dry, creating a splendid tart snack. Cranberries are a rich source of vitamin C, potassium and citric acid, which gives them their characteristic tart flavor. Known for their astringent properties, cranberries are said to stimulate circulation, improve the complexion, and aid in digestion. Their acidic and astringent compounds make them perfect to aid in the relief of urinary tract infections and inflammations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Good news to use! I take three or four cranberry capsules every day to avoid bladder infection. Works wonderfully. I am so happy about this as there is not much more unpleasantness to undergo than a bladder infection!! Bron P.S. Thanks for the advice as to how to dry cranberries! bet you could do this with cherries and blueberries also...I'd have to put some sugar on 'em though, cuz they are TOO TART for me!
