Organic Freeze-Dried Cranberry Whole (5 oz, 141g) #10 Can (2-Pack)

Organic cranberries are the small, strikingly red, edible berries that grow on the Vaccinium macrocarpon plant, which is a dwarf shrub that belongs to the Ericaceae family and is native to the northern parts of Europe, Asia and North America. Since cranberries don't stay fresh for very long, they can be carefully freeze-dried to extend their shelf life while preserving the fruit's original nutritional content.
