Dried Cranberries

Dried cranberries are tart, chewy morsels made from fresh cranberries that have been dried to extend their shelf life. Originating in North America, cranberries are a traditional part of Indigenous cuisine and later became a staple in American cooking, especially during Thanksgiving. Their flavor is notably tart and tangy, with a hint of natural sweetness that can vary depending on added sugars during the drying process. The texture is pleasantly chewy yet tender, offering a satisfying bite. In cooking, dried cranberries are versatile, adding bursts of fruity flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. They plump up when cooked, infusing dishes with their unique taste and can balance rich or spicy elements with their natural tang.

Fresh Basil

Fresh basil is a fragrant, leafy green herb known for its sweet and slightly peppery flavor. It is a staple in Mediterranean and Southeast Asian cuisines.
