The quality of ingredients predominantly defines the quality of an edible food product. Cranberry powder is not any different. First, it is essential to understand that not all cranberries are the same, as not all people are the same. There are two main native species (i.e., wild species). The first is the Vaccinium macrocarpon that grows in North America. The second is the Vaccinium oxycoccus that grows in Europe. More than 100 varieties are mainly a product of genetic editing (GMO) of the two main wild species. These species are usually patented and mostly found in the United States, Canada, and the UK. Although genetic editing aims to create a new variety that is bigger, or has better color, or is a bit sweeter, wild-grown cranberries are still the ones with the highest nutritional value. Anon.
