India Is Obsessed with Cranberries Right Now And Here's Why
Last Updated: From health to heritage, cranberries are becoming embedded in India's evolving food culture From kitchen experiments to wellness routines, cranberries have become India's new go-to superfruit. Once considered a Western staple, the tiny tart berry is now starring in everything from fusion biryanis to summer lassis. The Cranberry Craze Is Real India's cranberry imports witnessed a substantial surge between FY 2021-22 and FY 2023-24. The country's overall cranberry imports grew by 52.28%, rising from 2080 metric tons (MT) to 3166 MT during this period. Notably, imports of US cranberries saw an increase of 61.85%, with volumes rising from 1390 MT in FY 2021-22 to 2245 MT in FY 2023-24. This upward trend underscores the growing demand for cranberries in India, with the US emerging as one of the key suppliers. Source: DGCIS, Ministry of Commerce, Govt. of India Much of this growth has been fueled by strategic market development efforts by US Cranberries Industries. The organization, which spearheads cranberry research and international promotions, is actively engaging with Indian stakeholders across sectors—from foodservice and retail to nutrition and wellness advocacy. Through chef collaborations, trade shows, and influencer partnerships, they are helping reposition cranberries in India from an exotic berry to an everyday superfruit. Sumit Saran, In-Country Marketing Representative, The Cranberry Institute, remarked, 'India is a growth market for US cranberries. We have seen tremendous demand for both dried US cranberries and cranberry juice in India as more Indian consumers are discovering this amazing berry. Dried cranberries are not only being used as an anytime snack but also as an ingredient in various Western and ethnic dishes." 'US cranberries are easily available both with retail dry fruit sellers and on e-commerce platforms," Saran added. 2.

'You get tang, crunch, and colour—it's the triple threat," he said. Since then, high-end restaurants have introduced their own cranberry fusion creations, and food festivals now include cranberry tastings on their menus. 4.
