Cranberries turn white when they are turned over. This is because a red pigment in the berry is drawn to the surface when the berry is exposed to sunlight and cold temperatures. This means that berries that have not been exposed to the sun for a while will turn red in frosty nights.
Antioxidants help prevent or lessen the frequency of active urinary tract infections
The antioxidants in cranberry juice, cranberry extracts, and other cranberry products prevent or lessen urinary tract infection by inhibiting bacterial adhesion. These effects are independent of antibiotic resistance.
One study found that cranberry juice decreased the frequency of UTIs in men by 20%. This effect was seen in both men and women. The study also showed that cranberry-lingoberry extract reduced the number white blood cells and bacteria in urine among older adults. However, every person reacts differently to antioxidants so cranberries might not be able to treat all cases.
Another study found that cranberry juice may reduce the number of UTIs among women who have had a history of UTIs. The study involved 185 women who were treated with 240mL of cranberry liquid daily for 24 weeks. The placebo was given to the other group. After 24 weeks, the cranberry-drinking team had 39 UTIs compared to the 67 in the placebo. The difference between the two groups was significant.
It’s fat-free
White cranberry juice is a great choice for those who want to eat well and maintain a healthy weight. Its high levels of polyphenols support heart health and lower levels “bad” cholesterol. One study found that women with metabolic syndrome who ate cranberry juice regularly experienced an increase in antioxidant levels. Another study found that cranberry juice reduced stiffness in the carotid femoral artery, which is a measure of arterial stiffness and a sign of coronary artery disease.
White cranberry juice contains no fat or sodium. It is a low-calorie drink that is a natural remedy for colds and a nutrient-rich snack. This juice is high in vitamin C which helps fight infections as well as reduces the risk of developing heart disease.
It is less tart when it is ripe
White cranberry juice is produced when cranberries are early in the harvesting process, when their juice is still young and less tart than red cranberry juice. Cranberries are naturally tastier when they are unripe, and their floatability makes them more pleasant for drinking. That’s why cranberry producers flood the fields and stir the plants to bring the fruit to the surface.
Cranberries have powerful antioxidants. They are rich in anthocyanins which have been proven to be powerful antioxidants. Other studies have indicated that the fruit can fight Alzheimer’s disease.
It appeals to younger consumers
White cranberry juice has a unique taste that appeals to younger consumers. Its tart taste is less prominent than its red counterpart, making it more popular with young families. The juice is also less likely to stain carpets. Bartenders have become fans, using it in drinks such as clear cosmopolitans. This new juice was first offered to the public in 2000 at an Ocean Spray board meeting.
White cranberry juice doesn’t have red or purple color. The juice’s color comes from the skin of the Cranberry, which is why it is red. While other fruits become sweeter with the depth of their color, cranberries retain their tartness. Carolyn DeMoranville is the director of the University of Massachusetts Cranberry Experimentation Station East Wareham. According to her, white cranberries have milder flavors and less acidity that the red variety.
