About Product
Organic freeze-dried cranberry powder is a product that has been around for many years.
It is made by freezing cranberries and then drying them in a vacuum. This process helps preserve the cranberries’ nutrients while removing moisture.
The powder can then be used as an ingredient in many recipes, including smoothies, desserts, and other dishes.
The history of this product dates back to the 1800s when it was used as a natural sweetener in place of refined sugar.
It was also used as a preservative, as it helped to keep food items fresh for extended periods.
Over the years, it has evolved and become a popular ingredient in many dishes.
Today, organic freeze-dried cranberry powder is widely used in smoothies, baking recipes, and more.
Some research suggests that Cranberries may contain the following constituents:
-
Minerals: Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium

Suggested Use: Mix one tablespoon with juice and yogurt, or add to your favorite smoothie.
Other preparations:
Tincture - This method takes 15 to 30 days, depending. You will need three items (a mason jar with a cover, the herb/herbs of your choice, and liquid for extracting). The extracting liquid can be alcohol, alcohol/ water combo, vinegar, or vegetable glycerin. Take the product and fill the jar ¾ full, add the liquid of your choice, and close the jar. Then, shake the jar so everything is well mixed, and everyday shake the jar for 5 minutes at a time, several times daily. After 15 to 30 days, strain and bottle in dark glass amber jars. The time frame depends on the liquid you use to do the extraction.
Mixing suggestion: To increase flavor and nutritional profile, combine with our organic blueberry, strawberry, and tart cherry powders.
