Origin
United States.
The cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is native to North America, and the United States is the world's leading producer. The S&D (Sliced & Dried) format provides excellent ingredient distribution in baked goods, cereals and food blends while simplifying industrial processing. Sunflower oil is applied as a light coating to keep the slices free-flowing during storage and handling, while cranberries naturally provide polyphenols, anthocyanins and A-type proanthocyanidins, antioxidant compounds valued for their nutritional properties.
