Cranberry

Our customers use cranberries because of their distinct tart flavor, functional properties, and strong association with health benefits. Cranberries are commonly processed into juices, concentrates, dried forms, and extracts, making them versatile for use in beverages, snacks, sauces, and supplements. Their naturally sharp taste helps balance sweetness in products and enhance overall flavor profiles. Cranberries are also rich in antioxidants and are widely associated with urinary tract health, which supports targeted health marketing claims. Additionally, their bright red color improves visual appeal and can serve as a natural coloring ingredient. Their availability in shelf-stable forms makes them convenient for large-scale production and consistent product formulation.

Brothers International is proud to offer various fruit juices and concentrates as USDA Organic certified.

Nature’s Sharpest Ruby

Cranberries are small, round berries that grow on low, creeping vines in sandy bogs and wetlands. They are native to North America and have been used for centuries, including by Indigenous peoples for food and traditional purposes. Cranberries are typically bright red when ripe and have a firm texture with a naturally tart flavor. They are harvested in the fall, often using a method called wet harvesting, where fields are flooded to make the berries easier to collect. Fresh cranberries have a relatively long storage life compared to other berries when kept properly.
