No salad is complete without a sprinkling of dried cranberries! Dried cranberries are great for a variety of dishes, from cranberry sauce and jellies to muffins and granola. These tart cranberries are slightly sweetened for perfect flavor. Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C they are perfect for on-the-go snacking or baking. Cranberries have been shown to be effective weight-loss aid, lower blood pressure and lessen the risk of UTIs. You’ll find organic dried cranberries in the bulk sections of all MaMa Jean’s locations.
