I like a mix of cran-grape-orange, which I think is delicious, but it looks disGUSTing! > I've seen a white cranberry juice out, but only in > the "cocktail" which is > loaded with high-fructose corn syrup, which isn't > that good for you, but > my mother says that it's a milder taste, so if you > can get that, you could give it a taste, anyway. IIRC, many of the polyphenols, anthocyanins and other phytochemical antioxidants give both color and taste to the fruits, however - which is why I think there is evidence that red wine is 'healthier' than white, just as purple grape juice is 'healthier' than white. There is another North American berry that is milder than cranberry in flavor (juice is a dark indigo), and is supposed to be packed with antioxidants -- it begins with an "a" -- aronica? anconia? I'll look the next time I'm at that store. > What I'd like to know now is, what if you load up on > cranberry *sauce*? > I'm always looking for a good excuse to eat *that*. > (When I was 7, that > Thanksgiving my mother wouldn't let me take a second > helping of cranberry > sauce unless I had some turkey to go with it.) Same antioxidant power - but a lot more sugar, I think (you could check the labels). My mom makes a cranberry-orange-walnut relish that I just love.
