Cranberries, raw

Raw cranberries score 86 of 100, a Strong result and rank 23 of 60 in Fruits & juices, at just 46 calories per 100 g. They combine a 16% DV of vitamin C with 13% DV of dietary fiber, a fiber level that's notable for a fruit this low in calories.

Fresh cranberries are sharply tart on their own, which is why they're rarely eaten raw and instead get cooked into sauces, baked into breads, or dried with added sugar for snacking. A one-cup chopped (110 g) serving provides 3.6 g of fiber alongside just 4.27 g of sugar, notably lower than most fruit. The main practical catch is that raw preparation is uncommon, so most cranberry products on shelves are sweetened well beyond this raw profile.
