description
traditionally cranberries have been used to prevent urinary tract infections but these all-round wellness wonders have bountiful benefits for our health. cranberries can help prevent tooth decay or kidney stones, avoid respiratory infection and they’re also effective at fighting against infections and boosting general wellness.
the tart taste of the cranberry is due to the presence of various natural acids: malic, citric and benzoic acid which have an emulsifying effect on the fat deposits in our body (which is a long way of saying ‘roll out of the way, fat!’). polyphenol compounds typical to the cranberry are flavonols, lignans and proanthocyanidins.
the healthy wisdom of our nordic super berries has been passed down the generations in finland and has been backed with several scientific studies. as much as we love to go on about our berries, we’re not nutritionists or medical experts. we don’t ‘berry’ pick our evidence – all the information can be found from publicly available sources. but each berry lover is different. if you suffer from any medical conditions or would like more specific advice on how to improve your diet, you should consult a doctor or a dietician.
