Organic Dried Berry Blend
What it is
This is a mix of dried organic cranberries, raisins, blueberries, and cherries. The fruits are dried to remove most of their water content, which concentrates their natural flavors and makes them shelf-stable. The blend offers a variety of tastes and textures, from the tartness of cranberries to the sweetness of raisins and cherries, with the soft chewiness of blueberries.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining dried berries fresh, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is well-sealed to prevent moisture from entering, which can cause the berries to clump or spoil.
