Fresh cranberries for decoration

Description

Fresh cranberries for decoration are small, shiny fruits with an intense ruby color and firm skin. Their taste is distinctly sour with a subtle bitterness, making them an attractive color and flavor contrast on desserts, salads, cheese platters, or cocktails; they are also perfect for glazes, cranberry sauces, and compotes, and individual fruits can be skewered on toothpicks to serve as an elegant decoration. Cranberries are low in calories, rich in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, including proanthocyanidins that support urinary tract health and overall immunity. To maintain freshness, store them in the refrigerator in a breathable container or their original packaging, do not wash before storing, and use within 2–4 weeks; for longer storage, freezing will preserve their flavor and texture.
