What it is

Dried cranberries are cranberries that have had most of their water removed. This process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life. They are often sweetened and sometimes coated with oil to prevent clumping.

Why it's used

Dried cranberries are used to add a tart-sweet flavor and chewy texture to foods. They are commonly found in trail mixes, baked goods like muffins and cookies, and salads. Manufacturers use them for flavor and visual appeal.

Health notes

Dried cranberries are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They contain antioxidants, but the health benefits of dried cranberries are debated due to added sugars. JECFA has evaluated cranberries and their extracts, and has established specifications for their use. No significant controversies exist regarding their use at typical levels.

Allergen info

Dried cranberries are not derived from any of the 9 major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
