Our dried cranberries are perfect for snacking on their own or for adding a pop of color and flavor to your salads. They are also great for baking into muffins or cookies for a sweet and tangy treat.
Dried cranberries are made by partially dehydrating fresh cranberries, a process similar to making grapes into raisins. They are popular in trail mix, salads, bread, with cereals, or eaten on their own.
Cranberries are related to blueberries, bilberries, and lingonberries. The most commonly grown species is the North American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon), but other types are found in nature. Due to their very sharp and sour taste, cranberries are rarely eaten raw.
Dried cranberries can be added for color and flavor to various foods, including salads, oatmeal, cookies, muffins, loaves, bread, and trail mix. They may be used to replace raisins or any dried fruit. Dried cranberries may be prepared with flavorings or coverings, such as chocolate. Cranberries are most often consumed as a juice, which is normally sweetened and blended with other fruit juices. Dried cranberries have negligible fat content. Other than the carbohydrates supplied, dried cranberries are a poor source of nutrients.
