What to look for in Dried Berry Mixes?
What to look for in Dried Berry Mixes?
- 01Many dried cranberries are infused with sugar syrup. Look for fruit or fruit juice as the only sweetener.
- 02Dried fruit is often sprayed with oil so the pieces do not stick. It has to be declared on the pack.
- 03Sulphites keep some dried fruit bright in colour. They must be declared too.
- 04Soft, pliable pieces mean fresh stock. Hard or crystallised pieces mean old stock.
