Dried fruits – don’t you just love them? They are the most convenient way to eat fruits. One of the things I always hate about eating fruits is that it leaves a mess on your hands and your surroundings. That is why I would normally go for fruit juices instead of the fruit itself. All the work is done for you, all you have to do is drink the juice. And dried fruits are basically the same thing – all the work is done for you, all you have to do is to pop them into your mouth. The most popular dried fruits currently is dried cranberries. One of the most interesting about dried cranberries is that it is no longer that tart. If you have drank before unsweetened cranberry juice, you would know what I mean – sour to the max! Of course, there is still some residual sourness but that it about it. In fact, it is the slight sourness and sweetness that makes dried cranberries such a wonderful snack. It is just too bad that most of these dried cranberries have added sugar. I guess if they don’t add any sugar into the dried fruit, it would probably be too tart for most people.

Del Monte is famous for its tomato ketchup. Best ever compared to the other brands. It is still my favourite. But surprisingly, Del Monte has diversify into dried fruits. Well, smart move. You can no longer depend on just one or two products to survive. You will need to expand your product range. And I guess Del Monte is doing exactly that. Good for them. And also good for us consumers.

The Del Monte Premium cranberries. Check out those plump cranberries! I have never tried fresh cranberries before in my life and I often wonder what it really taste like.

Yes, no preservative and is cholesterol free. Again, good points. And because they are so thoughtful, they have provided you with a resealable zipper. If you can’t finish these cranberries in one shot, at least you can keep them in the original packaging.

The cranberries that go into their Del Monte fruit snack are plump, juicy gems from the bogs of the New England villages of Cape Cod. Suitable for any occassion, enjoy them straight from the re-sealable pack or sprinkle them over cereal and fruit salad. Snacking has never been more nutritious and tasty than Del Monte Fruit Snacks. Well, true. Dried fruits is a way better than other most other highly processed snacks we have out there. The ingredients are just dried cranberries and sugar. This is a product of the USA. Remember not only to zip the pack after opening, you have to refrigerate them as well. Aiya, might as well finish the whole damn thing.

The nutritional table. Check out the dietary fibre in these snacks. This is definitely a good option to go when we are talking about a fibre rich diet. Just pop a few pieces every time after a meal and it would definitely help you move “unwanted things” out of your body. In fact, most dried fruits are good sources of fibre.

Guys I will have to tell you these are ones of the best tasting dried cranberries I have ever tried. One of the things about dried cranberries is that they  often taste, well…too dry and hard. Yes, I know, dried cranberries are supposed to be “dry” but I want the soft tender pulp as well. And Del Monte does it very well. I am very impressed. Most other brands of dried cranberries is probably a little too sweet, Del Monte cranberries are just right, not too sweet. Heavenly!
