What it is

Sliced cranberries are whole cranberries that have been sliced. Cranberries are small, tart, red berries that grow on vines in bogs. They are often sweetened and dried for use in various food products.

Why it's used

Sliced cranberries are typically used as a flavoring and textural ingredient. They add a tart and slightly sweet taste, along with a chewy texture. They are commonly found in snack mixes, baked goods like muffins and scones, and trail mixes.

Health notes

Cranberries are a source of antioxidants and vitamin C. The FDA has not established specific regulations for sliced cranberries beyond general food safety standards. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated cranberry extracts for potential health benefits, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed. At typical consumption levels, they are considered safe.

Allergen info

Cranberries are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA and do not contain gluten.
