For many people, eating cranberries is a sort of “one-off.” A traditional, time-honored companion to turkey and stuffing, cranberries may be consumed at a holiday meal – often in the form of canned, processed cranberry jelly – then promptly forgotten until next year. But, if this is the extent of your experience with cranberries, you may be missing out on valuable nutrients and plant compounds that can make for a “happy heart.”
