Cranberries are pretty bitter (as far as fruits go) so most people don’t snack on them raw. You can buy cranberries fresh or frozen, as well as dried or as a juice or sauce. Cranberry juice and dried cranberries typically come sweetened to help balance their tartness. Cranberry juice is often sweetened with another juice, such as apple or grape—so it might not be 100% cranberry but can still be made with 100% juice. Cranberry juice cocktail, on other hand, is sweetened with sugar (or a noncaloric sweetener) and contains about 27% cranberry juice, along with additional water, other juices and sometimes extra vitamin C.
