Cranberries are very high in vitamin C and fiber. Commercial cranberry
drinks usually contain a lot of sugar, so you can make your own
cranberry juice at home very easily with your own juicer.
If you find the juice to be too sour, you can sweeten the juice with
apple juice. Cranberries and apples make a great combination juice
that's full of important nutrients. There are two kinds of cranberries produced in North America. There's the familiar red cranberry that matures in October and the white cranberry that matures earlier. When choosing your cranberries, you should look for ones that are bright red in color, hard, and plump. Try to stay away from soft, dull, or wrinkled berries. Cranberries will keep up to two months refrigerated, or you can seal them in plastic bags or a container and freeze them. They will keep in the freezer for up to one year! Fresh cranberry juice is much more nutritional then the commercial variety. The vitamins have not evaporated or boiled off from the pasteurization process. Drink fresh cranberry juice to fight infections. This would include sore throats and colds. It is a good drink for kidney, bladder problems and urinary tract infections. Use it in conjunction with flushing out a kidney stone. |
