Harvesting

Cranberries are typically grown in boggy, acidic soil in cooler climates, such as those found in the northern United States and Canada. The cranberry plants are perennial and can survive for many years under the right conditions. Harvesting usually takes place in the autumn, from September to November, when the berries have reached their peak ripeness and vibrant red colour. After harvesting, the cranberries are cleaned and sorted to remove any debris or under-ripe berries. They are then typically dried using either a sun-drying method or a dehydrator, which helps to preserve their natural nutrients and vibrant red colour. The drying process concentrates the natural sugars in the cranberries, resulting in a sweet and tart flavour profile. Organic dried cranberries retain much of the nutritional value of fresh cranberries, including high levels of antioxidants and vitamin C. Our cranberries have a light coating of organic sunflower oil to enhance the cranberries' natural sweetness and prevent them from sticking together.

The organic nature of Organic Dried Cranberries means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Dried Cranberries in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Dried Cranberries

Organic dried cranberries have a rich history dating back to the Native American tribes who used them for their medicinal and nutritional properties. The cranberry, a small, tart fruit, was first harvested by Native Americans and later introduced to European settlers. In the 1800s, cranberries were commercially cultivated in the United States, and their popularity grew as they became a staple in Thanksgiving meals. The organic movement in the late 20th century led to the production of organic dried cranberries, offering consumers a healthier and environmentally friendly option. Today, organic dried cranberries are enjoyed worldwide for their delicious taste and numerous health benefits.
