Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce is a holiday staple, and from an Ayurvedic perspective, it is astringent, sour, and cooling, with sharp and penetrating qualities. It is a natural antioxidant rich in vitamin C and fiber. Cranberry sauce is heart-healthy, containing no cholesterol and being low in fat, though it can be high in calories due to sugar content. It is considered a natural blood cleanser, and adding ginger, cinnamon, and cloves enhances its digestive benefits.
