What Makes Dried Blueberries Special?

Dried blueberries are fresh berries with most of their water gently removed, concentrating their natural sugars, flavor, and antioxidants. The result is a chewy, flavorful fruit that’s perfect for snacking or adding to recipes.

How They’re Made

1. Washing & Preparation
Fresh blueberries are washed and carefully prepared. A quick blanching step helps the skin open slightly, allowing moisture to escape efficiently during drying.

2. Sweetening Infusion
The berries are commonly infused in a light sugar solution to maintain plumpness and enhance natural sweetness.

3. Drying Process
Commercial heated air drying methods remove moisture slowly and evenly to preserve flavor and texture.

4. Light Oiling
A fine mist of sunflower oil prevents clumping and maintains the soft, chewy texture customers love.

Nutritional Highlights & Benefits

Dried blueberries are naturally rich in beneficial plant compounds and nutrients:

Antioxidant Powerhouse

Loaded with anthocyanins, which help combat free radicals and support overall wellness.

Heart Health Support

May help support healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Brain Function

Antioxidants may contribute to cognitive health and memory support.

Digestive Health

Naturally high in fiber to support regular digestion and gut health.

Immunity & Bone Health

Contain Vitamin C for immune support and Vitamin K for bone health and proper blood clotting.

Natural Energy Boost

A convenient, quick source of energy — great for athletes, hikers, and busy lifestyles.

Note: Because drying concentrates natural sugars, enjoy in mindful portions.

Delicious Ways to Use Them

🥣 Breakfast & Baking

• Stir into oatmeal or hot cereal

• Sprinkle over yogurt or granola

• Fold into muffins, scones, pancakes, waffles, and quick breads

• Add to oatmeal cookies or shortbread

• Mix into pie fillings to absorb excess liquid and intensify flavor

🥗 Sweet & Savory

• Toss into salads or grain bowls

• Blend into smoothies

• Add to trail mixes

• Use in sauces or glazes

How to Rehydrate Dried Blueberries

For softer texture in baking or cooking:

1. Place berries in a bowl.

2. Cover with very hot water, juice, or preferred liquid.

3. Soak for 10–30 minutes.

4. Drain thoroughly before use.

For faster results, microwave submerged berries for 30–60 seconds and let rest until plump.

For enhanced flavor, soak in hot fruit juice, rum, or brandy before adding to recipes.

Storage Recommendations

To maintain optimal freshness and flavor:

• Store in an airtight container

• Keep in a cool, dark place away from heat and sunlight

• Limit oxygen exposure by keeping only small amounts accessible

• Keep sealed tightly after each use

While freezing is possible, we do not recommend it, as freezing and thawing may affect texture and flavor. For best results, keep cool, dry, and sealed.
