No. Our Dried Blueberries are naturally sweet with no added sugar, oil, or juice concentrates. The sweetness is from the fruit's own sugars, which become concentrated during the drying process.
They have an intense, jammy, and sweet flavour with a pleasant tartness. The texture is soft and chewy, similar to a raisin.
They're incredibly versatile! Eat them as a snack, add them to trail mix, stir them into porridge or muesli, or use them in baking (muffins, scones, and bread). They are also a delicious addition to salads.
It's a great idea! To prevent the berries from absorbing all the moisture from your batter (which can make your bake dry), soak them in hot water for 15-30 minutes. Drain them well before folding them into your batter.
Both are great choices. Dried blueberries are a nutrient-dense food, especially high in fibre. However, the drying process concentrates the natural sugars and calories, so a handful of dried berries is more energy-dense than a handful of fresh ones.
Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place (like a pantry). For long-term freshness and to keep them soft and chewy, the refrigerator or freezer is an excellent option.
