Cranberries are not only great for recipes, but they also offer a variety of health benefits. Research shows that the unique anti-adhesion properties of the cranberry’s proanthocyanidins, or PACs, can prevent bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract, stomach, and mouth – helping to ward off infection. However, bacterial protection may not be the only health benefit jam-packed into the tiny cranberry. Cranberry PACs also function as antioxidants – and with far more PACs per gram than most other fruit, cranberries bolster the body’s defenses against free radical damage that can contribute to many chronic diseases including heart disease.
