Nutritional value of cranberry seeds:
It’s important to note that cranberry seeds are typically consumed in small amounts and are not as widely used as cranberries themselves. However, if you choose to incorporate cranberry seeds into your diet, they can provide a nutritional boost alongside other nutrient-rich foods. Cranberry seeds, like many other seeds, contain various nutrients that can contribute to a healthy diet. They are a good source of plant-based protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues in the body. Cranberry seeds contain more than 40% of dietary fiber, which helps promote healthy digestion, regulate blood sugar levels, and support cardiovascular health. Moreover the seeds contain beneficial fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These fats are important for brain health, reduce inflammation and support heart health. Cranberry seeds contain various vitamins, including vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant and supports immune function, and B vitamins, which are important for energy production and nervous system health. By adding cranberry seeds to your food, you provide essential minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium, which are essential for maintaining normal bodily functions, including muscle function and bone health. It is very important that cranberry seeds contain antioxidants, including flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which help protect the body against free radicals and oxidative stress, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
