Cranberries are not only reserved for cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving. You can impart the sweet-tart cranberry flavor into myriad recipes! From snacks and appetizers to entrees, desserts, and more, cranberries find their way into unique fall and winter favorites. Since they are only available for a short while, get your hands on them to make some of the recipes in this article.

Cranberries primarily consist of carbs and fiber, but they are also 90% water. They are some of the best sources of antioxidants, which work to fight free radicals. The most common health benefit associated with cranberries is the fact that they may help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). A-type proanthocyanidins prevent the binding of E. coli in the bladder, a common first step in getting an infection. If you usually develop UTIs, you may want to incorporate fresh cranberries, or fresh cranberry juice, into your diet. This is an excellent proactive approach to living a healthier lifestyle. 

The same A-type proanthocyanidins, which only exist in cranberries, that reduce the risk of UTIs also reduce bad bacteria in the gut. More research is necessary, but preliminary research shows that cranberries promote optimal digestive health. Lastly, and then we will provide you with the recipes, the certain antioxidant compounds in cranberries may exhibit anti-cancer properties. Needless to say, cranberries are superfoods that deserve a featured spot in your diet.

The best thing about this rainbow carrot slaw, besides how beautiful it looks, is the sweet and slightly citrusy flavor profile. You don’t have to worry about the fennel in this recipe because it doesn’t outshine the other ingredients. Grating the fennel bulb or slicing it thinly helps tame the intensity of raw fennel. Plus, the aromatic dill vinaigrette asserts itself as the flavor champion. It is truly one of the best dressings you’ll ever have.

The important thing to remember when making this carrot slaw is to grate all of the ingredients on the largest grater setting. Using the small side of the grater will result in a mushy slaw. You want a slaw to be crunchy! Now if you are really lazy, you can use a food processor to chop all of the ingredients. If you have a sharp grater, though, you should really choose that option.

Since the slaw dressing has a decent amount of mustard powder, it will be very aromatic and flavorful. The mustard flavor pairs beautifully with the aromatic dill and sweetness of the carrots. The slightly bitter cabbage also helps to absorb a lot of the dressing, meaning you can enjoy dressed slaw a few hours after preparing it. Should the dressing be a little intense for your palate, you can add a teaspoon or so of raw agave nectar to help tame the assertive flavors.

Red cabbage is a beautiful, vibrant cruciferous vegetable that is naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. We absolutely love to incorporate it into as many recipes as possible because it is so much more than a colorful addition to salads. While it is important to eat the rainbow, you also have to feature those rainbow colors, making them more than an afterthought.

For this recipe, the way you slice the cabbage is very important. Because purple cabbage can have a slightly bitter flavor profile, you don’t want large, thick slices; rather, you want super thin slices. For this reason, using a mandoline slicer can be a great way to achieve even, thin slices. If you have great knife skills, go off and show us your skills! Otherwise, slicing cabbage in a food processor is another viable option.

Even if your cabbage slices aren’t paper thin, the sweetness of the other ingredients will balance the flavor. Carrots, dried cranberries, and apples all exhibit sweeter flavor profiles, which create a nice balance in this slaw. Then you have the nuttiness from the walnuts to hit every corner of the flavor spectrum. Just make sure that the walnuts are raw and the dried cranberries are free of preservatives and added sugars.
