Dried Cranberries: Organic Super-Berry
Dried cranberries are one of the best and healthiest snacks you can find. Most importantly, even when dried, cranberries retain an outstanding amount of nutrients. In fact, they are the most antioxidant-rich snack of this kind.

The majority of dried cranberries are coated in syrup to improve their natural taste, which is rather tart and sometimes bitter.
Dried Cranberries from Food To Live
The Food To Live organic certified facility is equipped with the best processing equipment to ensure efficient dehydration. As the product doesn’t contain any artificial additives, our organic dried cranberries don’t go bad if you keep them in an airtight container and ensure the fruits remain dry.
Fresh cranberries are only available for a limited time during autumn and spring. They also can’t be cultivated at a home vegetable garden as this species require a very particular type of extremely moist soil to grow. Therefore, dried cranberries are the only way for people to enjoy these delicious and antioxidant-rich berries all year round.
Luckily, the vast majority of recipes that call for fresh cranberries can be adjusted to accommodate their dehydrated substitute. In fact, dried cranberries have more culinary uses as their flavor is more palatable than that of fresh berries.
Food To Live Organic Dried Cranberries can be included in any recipe from salad to sauce to dessert. They are rich in essential vitamins and minerals as well as dietary fiber, protein, and antioxidants.
These dry fruits definitely taste better than some cranberry vitamins made artificially. In fact, they have a more positive effect on the body as cranberry pills aren’t regulated, same as other dietary supplements. Therefore, you can never be 100% sure if they are effective.
With Food To Live Certified Organic Dried Cranberries you always know what you eat exactly and can be confident in the quality of the product.
Dehydrated Vs. Freeze Dried Cranberries
Food To Live Dried Cranberries are dehydrated instead of freeze dried. We choose this technology because it allows retaining a better flavor and texture of the food. Freeze-dried cranberries have a similar nutritional value, but they can’t be consumed unless reconstituted.
Rehydrated freeze-dried foods never taste the same and they are extremely brittle when dry.
Dehydrated cranberries can be eaten as a snack right from the pack or used in various recipes, such as salads or stews.
Organic Dried Cranberries: Benefits
All the most important benefits of organic dried cranberries come from antioxidants. These berries have so many of these incredible elements, they can be called nothing short of ‘superfood’.
Antioxidants in dried cranberries benefit every part of your body. Note that this type of product is better for health than some cranberry extract or other similar supplements. Research indicates that dried cranberries make an outstanding cocktail of nutrients and antioxidants that complement each other.
Breaking this concoction down to its components and trying to ‘recreate’ its effects in cranberry pills produces a much weaker result. Therefore, the best type of cranberry vitamins is whole dried berries.
Fresh cranberries are even better nutrition-wise, but their taste is too potent and tart that only a select few people can genuinely enjoy them.
Dried cranberries benefits also include the positive effect of this ingredient on protein shakes favored by bodybuilders. These beverages usually taste bland or outright unpleasant. Including a handful of these tart berries into the mix will give you about a gram of easily-digestible protein as well as help enhance the taste of the drink.

Organic dried cranberries can be a very good product for you as they are nutritious and contain an extraordinary amount of antioxidants. On the good side, dried cranberries are rich in fiber, which is one of the essential elements the body needs in order to support normal metabolism.

Dried Cranberries Recipes: The Best Sauce
It’s easy to indulge in the traditional cranberry sauce during the holiday season as the stores offer fresh berries at the time. However, without the Christmas and Thanksgiving call of turkey, finding them is a challenge.
Luckily, you can make dried cranberries sauce anytime you like. It’ll taste just as amazing if you cook it right. You’ll have to experiment with your personal spice mix a bit to make up for any differences in the flavor or you can just enjoy discovering something new.
The easiest way to make dried cranberries sauce is to whisk together about ¼ cup of brown sugar, a cup of wine and ½ cup of broth. Put all the ingredients into a saucepan and heat them up, whisking until sugar melts. Then, add ½ cup of dried cranberries, a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar and some crushed fresh parsley or any other spices to your taste. Let the sauce simmer for up to 15 minutes and serve it hot.
If you have the time, reconstitute dried cranberries with wine before cooking. Soak them for 15-30 minutes and you can use the same wine for the sauce. If you are a vegan, use vegetable broth or cranberry juice as a substitute. Otherwise, chicken broth works best.
How Long Do Dried Cranberries Last?
Dried cranberries don’t go bad if they are stored correctly. You must keep the berries dry so they don’t go moldy, which means storing them in an airtight container. The average shelf life of dry fruits is 12 months. However, as they don’t spoil unless damaged by moisture and bacteria, they can be stored for years.
If you keep Food To Live Organic Dried Cranberries in your pantry, they’ll remain as good as new for up to 12 months. Put them in the fridge to double the time and in the freezer if you want to make their shelf life near indefinite.
Dry fruits usually have a ‘best by’ date, which literally states the best time to finish eating the pack. However, if the fruits are undamaged and don’t smell off, they can be consumed long past this period.
Please note that the situation isn’t the same for sweetened dried cranberries. These products contain a variety of chemicals that can spoil over time. Therefore, their shelf life is always shorter.
Be sure to place your Dried Cranberries from Food To Live away from spices and other foods that have a strong smell as dry fruits can ‘soak up’ odors.
If you choose to freeze-dried cranberries, defrost them in small portions and cook right away as the texture and nutritional value of the berries are negatively affected by refreezing.
Reconstituted dried cranberries should be cooked or eaten right away.
Remember that nutrients in dry fruits dissolve with time. You shouldn’t exceed the ‘best by’ date if you want to get maximum benefits from our Organic Dried Cranberries.
