Cranberry sauce is one of those holiday side dishes that people either find absolutely necessary or they could live without. I fall into the former category. I love that sweet and tangy flavor the cranberries provide when I bite into my Thanksgiving turkey. And this cranberry sauce has hints of vanilla in it. Vanilla pairs very well next to savory dishes. It won’t overpower the turkey. Vanilla can enhance the seasonings in the poultry and gravy.
These cranberries are sugar free as well so you can safely enjoy them and stay low carb or keto at the holiday dinner table.
You can consume cranberries on the keto diet. One cup of fresh cranberries has 8 g net carbs in it. Usually during the holiday, most people don’t each one cup of cranberries by themselves since it is traditionally used as a garnish or condiment on top of your Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey.
Cranberries have other benefits too! They are high in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and Vitamin K. They also contain proanthocyanidins which are antioxidants.
