THE CRIMSON TIDE: Cranberries grow in long-running vines in marshes. With wet harvesting, the marsh is flooded with water so that the berries float to the top, before being collected from
the marsh.

Cranberries are one of nature’s superfoods, packed with antioxidants and plant nutrients to help cleanse and purify the body.

Cranberries have long been famed for their health benefits. That’s because gram for gram, there are more antioxidants in cranberries than most other common fruits¹. And in this modern life, nearly everyone needs to consume more antioxidants – and other healthy compounds from plants – to combat toxins and harmful bacteria in the food we eat and the air we breathe.

MAGIC OF CRANBERRIES
Cranberries contain unique compounds called proanthocyanidins (PACS) that help bolster your internal defences against certain bad bacteria. PACS prevent them from sticking to healthy cells in your body and help flush them out of your system.
 
While PACS can be found in some other foods (including chocolate), it’s actually the ‘shape’ of the PACS in cranberries that makes them work differently, helping protect your digestive system and urinary tract health.

UNIQUE GOODNESS OF OCEAN SPRAY^®
Ocean Spray^® Cranberry Classic™ has a higher cranberry content than most cranberry drinks available in New Zealand. In fact, research indicates that a 250ml glass requires at least 25% cranberry content to provide the associated benefits of cranberry fruit drinks.²

Not only high in antioxidants, a daily 250ml glass of Ocean Spray® Cranberry Classic™ also provides 93% of the recommended daily vitamin C intake for an adult.

This sweet yet tart fruit drink is available in a no added sugar, low-calorie version as well. At only 8 calories for a 100ml serve, Ocean Spray® Cranberry Light™ is ideal for those on controlled diets or anyone watching their sugar intake including people with type 2 diabetes.

STRAIGHT FROM THE GROWERS
Ocean Spray is not just another juice company, but a Massachusetts-based farmers’ cooperative with a 75-year history of growing cranberries.

Cranberries are a native North American fruit requiring unique growing conditions.
