Why it’s good

Cranberries contain a particularly interesting mixture of anthocyanins, flavonols and proanthocyanidins.

Pears provide flavonoids and phenolic acids, with many concentrated in or near their skin.

Ginger contains distinctive phenolic compounds called gingerols.

Cinnamon and orange zest add still more polyphenol diversity.
