Oh, this is becoming my favourite snack – dried fruits.  First of all, they are just so very convenient. If you feel like taking a few dried cranberries, just pop them into your mouth. No mess, no fuss. In addition to being a convenient snack food, they are extremely delicious. Yes, it is because of the added sugar but I still like the overall taste. And who can forget that this is a healthy food. Much better than most other snacks we find in the stores. Dried cranberries are packed full of antioxidants and dietary fiber. Most of our diets nowadays lack the all-important fiber and what better way to get fiber than munching on delicious dried cranberries. Thus, overall, this is a perfect snack foodstuff for people of all ages.

I bought this from NTUC just last week. If I am not wrong, it was like S$2.95 for 2 packs. Quite reasonable, considering that other brands of dried cranberries can cost much more. Not to mention those organic ones, which can cost a leg and an arm. Although I understand that certified organic foodstuff have more nutrients, I think find it difficult to bring myself to spend extra for them. Well, beggars like me cannot afford to be choosers right? Rich overpaid government officials tell the people that if price of fresh food is too expensive, they can always choose frozen ones. Probably why I feel so sad being a Singaporean.

Here we have the Harvest Fields Dried Cranberries. It is all natural, premium quality and contains no preservatives. Hopefully! And this is a product of the USA. The net weight of this snack is 70g. Not really a lot lah. I can easily finish this dried cranberry snack in one sitting. And seriously, I am not a big eater.

Look at those cranberries. If you have never seen an actual cranberry in your life, you are not alone. I have not seen fresh cranberries either. From what I read, they should be the size of small tomatoes and bright red. And they are very very tart. Have you drank fresh unsweetened cranberry juice before? It is so sour that it brought tears to my eyes. Scary stuff.

Hmm….Harvest Fields Dried Cranberries are manufactured from superior grade USA red cranberries. Harvest Fields Dried Cranberries provide you and your family with the goodness of fruits all year round. They are suitable as a nutritious snack for all occasions. Harvest Fields Dried Cranberries are also a wonderful addition to cereals and can be used for baking. For me, I merely eat them directly when I surf the net. Seriously, they are good.

Hmmmmm…..nutritutional facts. Seems that they are lacking in a lot of nutrients and vitamins eh?

The ingredients are cranberries and corn syrup. Let’s cross our fingers and hope that the corn syrup is not the high frustose kind. But very likely, it is. Well, sometimes we so get some very unhealthy ingredients in supposedly healthy snacks. And if they don’t add any sweetener to the cranberries, nobody would buy it.  Oh, remember to store this in a cool dry place.

Yap, it is distributed by Interstates Market (2007) Pte Ltd. Wonder why their name has the year in it? Weird.

Anyway, this is the end of the review. I think that I might just have reviewed all the different brands of dried cranberries in Singapore. If you know of any other brands, please leave a comment. I would look out for them the next time I go shopping.
