                                With the United States being a leading producer of cranberries, most people only ever encounter them in their sweetened forms, such as juice cocktails or sauces. This often begs the question: what do unsweetened cranberries taste like? The flavor is intensely sour, sharp, and astringent, a potent taste profile far removed from its candied counterparts.
