Cranberry is one of the most well-known and studied wild berries. In addition to being rich in vitamin E, it is a good source of potassium and dietary fiber. It also contains various natural acids: malic, citric and benzoic acid. Benzoic acid preserves the berry naturally. Polyphenol compounds typical to cranberry are flavonols such as quercetin and myricetin, as well as lignans and proanthocyanidins.
