Traverse Bay Fruit Dried Blueberries, 8 Ounce (Pack of 3)

I wasn't expecting that. Since our local GFS carries Traverse Bay products, I think I'll check the ingredients there before making another purchase online.What's wrong with good old fashioned sugar (cane sugar, not beet sugar, which is now a frankenfood)?Maybe if enough of us protest HFCS, food manufacturers will stop using it.

Product: Traverse Bay Dried Blueberries (3pk of 8oz each, 1.5lbs total)A quick glance though my 100+ oookbook reviews will show I'm no slouch when it comes to global cuisine, and diverse ingredients. This product (both the blueberries and the cherries) marked the very first instance where I bought a dried fruit product online, and was not disappointed.The blueberries are evenly ripe, not overly dried out, are sulfite-free, deeply flavorful, and only lightly sweetened. They have a very light coating of oil to seal in their moisture, and prevent clumping. They're very good for snacking, and are naturally high in anti-oxidants.The Traverse Bay Cherries are slightly better suited for baking and sauces (due to their slightly higher moisture content), and the blueberries are mostly for snacking out of hand, and sprinking into hot cereal. Naturally high in anti-oxidants, and vitamins, they're a very healthy daily snack.My one small nit with this product is the use of corn syrup, rather than cane sugar, for sweeting. Other than that, I'm happy with this product, and given that I own a vaccum sealer and plenty of glass jars with universal lids, they should have an excellent shelf life.Recommended.

I love fresh blueberries and thought I would try these as a new snack. Unfortunately, something about the fresh berry is lost in the drying process. Not for my tastes. I finished the 3 packages but won't be buying again

Not too sweet, not too tart, not oily at all. These blueberries are great tasting. One reviewer talks about disappointment because the package says it contains high fructose corn syrup. I checked the labels on the ones I ordered, and it's fructose, not high fructose corn syrup. Hello? There's a big difference between the two! I've been getting these blueberries on monthly deliveries for almost a year now. None of the labels have listed high fructose corn syrup. Only reason I gave it four stars is because I wish they had smaller blueberries, which are sweeter. Some orders have bigger ones than others. But they're all sweet. When I emailed the company and asked about the size differences they told me they had no control over the blueberry lots that they get delivered. Mother nature has control. I guess they're partially right. I wish they could pick more smaller ones!

The skins are tough. It ruins the flavor. I have had better from the market. They are more like chewy raisins than blueberries. It may be the blueberries I have liked were freeze dried. These do not compare in quality to the excellent cherries.

These taste great! However, I am trying to move away from high-fructose corn syrup. So I will not buy again for that reason. If you don't care about that, these are a 5-star product!

I got these after having some of the fruit and nut mix pack from Starbucks and decided to make my own. I had previously reviewed that they were tiny - well I looked again and I think only the ones at the very bottom were tiny from settling during shipping I guess. The ones on top ARE the size of raisins and they are plump. I'm glad I checked because they are quite good! Will definitely order from them again and tell others where I got them because I see that I can depend on that kind of expected quality :)

Berries were good, but the price was too high. I'll purchase locally instead of Amazon.
