What is a dried blueberry?

The blueberry is a small blue-violet berry native to Europe. Dried naturally without added sugar or sweetened fruit juice, it can be stored year-round and retains its original acidity, which is often masked in industrial dried blueberries.

Blueberries have been used traditionally in Europe. No health claims are currently authorized in Europe regarding them.

Ingredients

No added sugar. No preservatives. Certified Organic. Store in a cool, dry place.

How to use them?

As a snack, in muesli, granola, or porridge, with yogurt or fromage blanc, or in baking (muffins, scones, clafoutis). When rehydrated for a few minutes in lukewarm water, they regain a texture similar to fresh fruit and can be used in sauces or coulis. Their flavor pairs well with almonds, lemon, and vanilla.

Precautions for use

• May temporarily stain teeth and hands (natural pigments).
• Not recommended for people taking high doses of anticoagulants without medical advice.
• Keep out of reach of young children (choking hazard).
• A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.

Frequently asked questions

Why are these blueberries more acidic than supermarket ones?

Because they contain no added sugar. Industrial dried blueberries are often sweetened to soften their natural acidity.

Are dried blueberries identical to fresh blueberries?

Drying concentrates the sugars and minerals and preserves the fruit for longer. It reduces the Vitamin C content, which is sensitive to heat.
