Cranberries
Cranberries.
Did you know the nutrients found in cranberries have been linked to a lower risk of urinary tract infections, improved immune function and decreased blood pressure?
No wonder they're eaten in abundance at Christmas time!
Christmas may well and truly be over, however the health benefits of these juicy red berries should not be contained just to this time of year.
Spend your money on the organic fresh and frozen varieties, as they contain an abundance of vitamin C and K, avoiding the dried variety - basically, a lolly alternative! When buying, look for plump, deep red berries that are firm to the touch - an indicator of quality.
Personally, I love adding them to my cooking, both savoury and sweet, and this lovely, simple dish is no exception.
