Dried Cranberries — Vaccinium oxycoccos, USA, Lightly Sweetened

Dried Cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos) — whole sliced dried cranberries from the USA, lightly sweetened with sugar and finished with a small amount of sunflower oil to prevent sticking. The cranberry is one of the few commercially cultivated fruits native to North America, grown predominantly in the bogs and wetlands of the northern USA and Canada. Raw cranberries are extremely tart — essentially inedible as a dried snack without some sweetening — and the light addition of sugar in this product is what creates the classic sweet-tart balance that makes dried cranberries one of the most popular and versatile dried fruits in baking, trail mix, and food manufacturing.

These are the classic "Craisin"-style dried cranberries — plump, chewy, vibrant deep red, with a bright sweet-tart flavour that holds up beautifully in baking, balances rich or savoury ingredients in salads, and adds colour and flavour contrast to granola, muesli, and trail mixes. The ingredient declaration is transparent: Cranberries, Sugar, Sunflower Oil — no artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives. Freeze-treated. Available in 250g, 500g, 1kg, and 5kg bulk.

Dried Cranberries — FAQs

Everything you need to know before you order.

Are these dried cranberries sweetened?

Yes — these dried cranberries are lightly sweetened with sugar. The full ingredient declaration is: Cranberries, Sugar, Sunflower Oil. The sunflower oil is a standard anti-caking agent used in sweetened dried cranberries to prevent the pieces from sticking together. Unsweetened dried cranberries are extremely tart — even more intensely sharp than fresh cranberries, which are already barely palatable raw — because the drying process concentrates the natural acidity along with the sugars. A small amount of sugar is added to balance that sharpness and create the classic bright sweet-tart flavour profile that makes dried cranberries so versatile and appealing. There are no artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives.

What is the difference between dried cranberries and Craisins?

"Craisins" is simply a brand name trademarked by Ocean Spray for their sweetened dried cranberry product. This product is the same thing — sweetened dried cranberries — produced without the brand name and available at a wholesale price point. The format, flavour profile, and typical applications are identical. If a recipe calls for Craisins, these dried cranberries are a direct substitute.

What are the best applications for dried cranberries?

Dried cranberries are one of the most versatile dried fruits in both sweet and savoury applications. Baking: fold into muffins, scones, biscuits, and fruit loaves — particularly well suited to white chocolate cranberry cookies and cranberry orange combinations; the tartness cuts through rich, buttery bakes. Trail mix: a classic trail mix inclusion alongside nuts, seeds, and chocolate — the bright tart-sweet flavour balances the richness of nuts. Breakfast: stir through muesli, granola, and porridge; scatter over yoghurt. Salads: a classic addition to winter salads with feta or goat cheese, walnuts, and mixed leaves; also suits roasted pumpkin and quinoa salads. Savoury cooking: fold into stuffings, rice pilaf, and couscous salads; use in cranberry-based sauces and chutneys for poultry. Cheese boards: scatter alongside soft and aged cheeses where the tartness provides contrast.

How do I stop dried cranberries from sinking in muffins?

Toss the dried cranberries in a small amount of flour — taken from the total flour in the recipe — before folding them into the wet batter. The light flour coating helps the cranberries grip the batter and stay suspended during baking rather than sinking to the base of the tin. This technique works for any dried fruit in muffins, cupcakes, and quick breads. Rehydrating the cranberries in warm water for 15–20 minutes before using (drained well) also helps — plumper, heavier berries are more likely to stay distributed evenly, and they contribute less moisture draw from the batter during baking, which keeps the crumb moister.

Should I rehydrate dried cranberries before baking?

For most baking applications, rehydrating is recommended. Place the cranberries in warm water for 15–20 minutes, then drain well before adding to your batter. Rehydrated cranberries are plumper, softer, and juicier in the finished bake — they release less moisture draw from the surrounding batter, which helps maintain a moister crumb. The soaking liquid, which takes on a pleasant cranberry flavour, can be used in small quantities as a natural liquid flavouring in the recipe. For trail mix, granola, and no-bake applications, rehydrating is not necessary.

What wholesale and bulk options are available?

The standard sizes listed — 250g, 500g, 1kg, and 5kg — are our regular stocked wholesale pack sizes, but The Herbal Connection is a wholesale supplier and can accommodate bulk orders well beyond these standard sizes. Whether you are a bakery, granola or muesli producer, trail mix brand, health food retailer, café, or large-scale buyer with ongoing volume requirements, we can discuss pricing and supply arrangements. A related product — Dried Blueberries USA (no added sugar) — is also available for buyers building a dried berry range.
