Choose Organic Wild Cranberry for Nutrient-Packed Meals

When making nutritious cranberry treats, choose organic, self-growing wild cranberries.

Wild cranberries, scientifically called Vaccinium oxycoccos, grow in the mountainside seeps of the Nordic region and are significantly tinier—usually half the size—than those you’d find in a local store.

They have higher levels of antioxidants, evidenced by their tart flavour and dark red skin, and are rich in bioactive plant compounds and major nutrients required for the well-being of the body, including:

• Flavanol polyphenols, like myricetin
• Manganese
• Vitamins C, K and E
• A-type proanthocyanidins

When compared to cultivated cranberries, wild organic cranberries take the lead. See their key differences in the table below.

At LOOV Food, we’re committed to offering only the purest products of the highest quality. From the cleanest forests, where our cranberries grow, to their sustainable packaging, we hope to create a better environment for all.

Our products are 100% organic, natural and handpicked from certified organic forests in Europe.

Unlike cultivated cranberries, our organic powdered cranberries are made from whole berries with their skins, seeds and pulp intact.

We use a freeze-drying method that preserves all of the nutrients, colour and taste of these berries to ensure you have everything you’d find in a fresh cranberry.

Our products contain no added sugar, preservatives, fillers or any added ingredients and have undergone vigorous lab testing to ensure they’re safe for consumption.
