Dried cranberries are made from fresh, ripe cranberries that are gently dehydrated to remove moisture while preserving their bright red color, tangy-sweet flavor, and natural nutrients. Often lightly sweetened to balance their tartness, they are chewy, flavorful, and convenient for year-round consumption. These dried berries are widely used as a healthy snack and a versatile ingredient in cereals, salads, baked goods, desserts, and savory dishes.
