Craisins Soft and Moist Dried Cranberries, 25 Pound

Ocean Spray Craisins Sweetened Dried Cranberries, 25-Pounds Package I am so happy I found this product. We eat a lot of nuts and fruit at our home and it can get costly. These Ocean Spray craisons are the best. But in the regular (up to 3 pounds) packages, the cost can get just a bit too much for us, and also the constant reordering is a pain. In bulk like this from this supplier, we get a top notch product at an affordable price! They keep just fine, so the quantity is no problem... even if you don't go through them as fast as we do. This gives the best product at the best price.

love these but I wish they didnt constantly change the prices also the bag is not sealed in the box

way too much of sugar. rather candied than sweetened. no flavor.

Does Ocean Spray use Amazon as a channel to dump their old inventory nearing expiration? My last two deliveries of 25 pounds boxes were manufactured in 2013 and sold in 2015. They are still edible but starting to really dry out with some of the sugars crystallized giving the cranberries a crunchy texture. On the positive side, the price is great.

**UPDATE 3/2020** something is going on with the ocean spray sealing tape or tampering is occurring. I received a box this week that had clearly been opened (the official ocean spray sealing tape was damaged) and retaped with clear packing tape over it. I requested a replacement and got the same problem. Since the inner bag is not sealed I have no assurance a hungry warehouse/supply chain worker didn’t just stick an unwashed hand in for a snack, or worse. Strongly recommend amazon and ocean spray re-evaluate their packaging of this. It’s an expensive item to feel obligated to throw out. Amazon did refund it but I’m frustrated at the waste. Previous review: My teenager lives on Craisins with cereal and I finally got fed up with how fast he goes through the large bags from Costco and ordered this box. It arrived with a best by date 1yr and 10 months from delivery. The box had Ocean Spray markings and they taste like the real deal. They seem like they will stay fresh for a while. I re-bagged them into gallon zipper storage bags per the recommendation of other reviewers and it came to 5 full gallon bags plus a little extra. It is shipped in a box with a thick large plastic bag lining it full of Craisins which does not close tightly on its own (the bag is folded closed to keep it fresh for shipping). Good deal, glad I purchased this.

Yes, 25 pounds is a lot, but we put these on lots of things from breakfast cereal, to salads, to baked goods. I separated them out into multiple Ziploc freezer bags and there are always some in the freezer to pull out when I run out in the pantry. The quality is good, not dry and hard. Try soaking a cup or so of these in orange juice overnight for muffins or your cereal toppings. Hope they have these again for my third annual order!

Very tasty, but not dietetic.

I eat these every morning in my oatmeal and so pleased to find a big box at this great price. They are very seasonal in the stores and I can only find the 10 oz. bags at Walmart. I bagged them up into gallon bags for freshness and they should last me a long time. The blueberry infusion makes them taste very good.
