Cranberries

Cranberries are a fruit, and the figures here describe the whole fruit rather than juice, sauce or dried cranberries. They consist mainly of water and provide carbohydrate, including naturally occurring sugars, as well as vitamin C. Per 100g, they contain 87g of water, 3.4g of carbohydrate, 3.4g of sugars and 13mg of vitamin C.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Whole cranberries contain little fat or salt. Cranberry products with added sugar, such as sauces and sweetened dried fruit, have a different nutritional composition, so these figures should not be used for those products. The full nutrient figures for whole cranberries are in the tables below.
