As a woman-owned small business with health-discerning owners, we only sell what we ourselves would consume. Our cranberries are sourced from either the U.S. or Canada depending upon supply. Our cranberries contain 1g natural sugar per serving, unlike those with added juice, sugar, and oil that may contain up to 29g of sugar per serving. Because these dried cranberries are not heavy with added sugars and oil, our cranberries offer a greater volume of berries per ounce. One ounce of our berries contain on average 180-250 pieces while an ounce of sweetened berries average 70-90 pieces per ounce. The difference in price is in the weight of the sugar, juice, and oil. Eat as a snack, add to baking, yogurt, cereals, salads, etc. Naturally occurring white/pinkish surface sugars may appear and are normal for some dried unsweetened fruits.
