Cranberry

ByОлена Коновалова
CRANBERRY
      Cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccos or Vaccinium macrocarpon) serves as a source of ascorbic acid (15.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), alpha-tocopherol (8.0%), and riboflavin (7.5%). It is further distinguished by its mineral profile, containing significant macro- and microelements: boron (171.0% DV per 100 g), rubidium (44.0%), manganese (19.5%), vanadium (14.9%), cobalt (14.4%), nickel (11.3%), and silicon (10.6%).
     Cranberry is characterized by a relatively high concentration of the phytosterol beta-sitosterol (11.5% DV), glucose (30.8%), dietary fiber (18.4%), and pectic substances (14.0%). Starch is absent from its composition, while sucrose is present in minor quantities (0.13 g per 100 g).
     The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 5.0% of the daily allowance.
     The concentration of oxalic acid per 100 g is 6 mg, representing 1.5% of the maximum tolerable daily intake (for further details, see Rhubarb).
Caloric content per 100 g: 46 kcal
Water in 100 g: 87.1 g
Ash from 100 g: 0.15 g
