Product Description:
Dried Cranberries are tangy, chewy, and sweetened fruits, made from fresh cranberries that have been dehydrated for long-lasting shelf life. These dried cranberries are typically sweetened with sugar or juice to balance their naturally tart flavor, making them a delightful snack and a versatile ingredient for a wide range of culinary applications.
Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, dried cranberries are a healthy snack on their own or when mixed with other fruits, nuts, or seeds. They are also an excellent way to incorporate the benefits of cranberries, such as supporting urinary health and promoting heart health, into your diet without the seasonal limitations of fresh cranberries.
