Healthy preserves without sugar and harmful artificial sweeteners. It's made with xylitol, which is actually good for you. Nice whole berries. Fresh-tasting. I wish it was carried in Des Moines, Iowa stores so I wouldn't have to order it online.

Pop-Tarts, (Not Frosted) Blueberry, 8-Count Tarts (Pack of 12) Review

Pop-Tarts, Blueberry, 8-Count Tarts
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It is impossible to buy unfrosted blueberry Pop Tarts in Austin, TX. I know this because Kellogg's Web site basically told me so! Therefore, because I didn't want to drive three hours to Dallas to get my favorite quick breakfast fix, I decided to buy a case of my favorite Pop Tarts.

The Pop Tarts arrived quickly and undamaged. I'm not on my fourth box and none of the pastries have been broken... and all taste great! Plus, the price was comparable to what I would pay in the grocery store anyway. I feel like I have found a great deal, and I plan to order another case within the next few months.

Emily's Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries 5oz Review

Emily's Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries 5oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These looked great online, but I was disappointed that I couldn't find a product label ... even when I found "Emily's" website. Since they were listed as "gourmet," I was hoping for premium ingredients. While not as bad as some, they do include natural flavors and corn syrup, for instance.

Having said that, the Dark Chocolate Strawberries TASTE very good, and the taste alone might warrant 5 stars (considering that they're packaged fruit).

For the prospective buyer hoping for an ingredient list, here you go:

INGREDIENTS: Dark Chocolate (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, milk fat, soy lecithin added as an emulsifier, and vanilla). Dried Strawberries (strawberries, sugar, rice flour, natural flavor, citric acid). Corn Syrup, Tapioca Dextrin, Confectioner's Glaze (refined lac.).

Product Description:

Emily's only uses whole berries - not pieces, purees, or jellies. Only the best will do and you will taste the difference. Emily's ~ All Chocolate is not created equal. Neither are nuts and dried fruits. Emily's goes to great lengths to source the finest ingredients from around the world. When you are looking for the ideal gift or prefect treat, you want the best.

Emily's Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberries 5oz Review

Emily's Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberries 5oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all, just because you see "dark chocolate" and "blueberries" doesn't make something healthy. Adding lots of sugar and processed, non-organic milk to raw cacao and/or blueberries quickly reduces their potential health benefits. (Plus corn syrup, etc.) Also, these are NOT all-natural ingredients in the sense of "from nature," as many of these ingredients are highly processed. They do not have any artificial colors or flavors though. (But "natural flavor" can mean a lot of things, and these include natural flavor.)

Anyway, I was specifically disappointed not to find any ingredient labels online, even at Emily's website (so I've listed them below), but did want to try out the taste of these and the strawberries as well. The strawberries were much better. The blueberries had sort of a funny taste to me; some actually were pretty good, and then you'd get one that really DIDN'T taste good. Of course this is subjective, but I like the strawberries better. Both are pretty good, considering that they're packaged fruit.

For those wanting the ingredient list before buying them, here's what the package says:

INGREDIENTS: Dark Chocolate (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, milk fat, soy lecithin added as an emulsifier, and vanilla), Dried Blueberries (blueberries, sugar, natural flavor, citric acid, sunflower oil), Corn Syrup, Tapioca Dextrin, Confectioner's Glaze (refined lac.).

Stoneridge Orchards Whole Dried Mixed Berries, 14-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 2) Review

Stoneridge Orchards Whole Dried Mixed Berries, 14-Ounce Pouches
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
"without any sulfites, preservatives, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors or flavors."

...but not without a great deal of sugar and high-fructose corn sweetener. Like the previous reviewer I bought these at Costco. Brought them back due to the sickly-sweet taste. There was so much added sugar it was getting a little difficult to taste the berries.

If you prefer berries au naturel or with just a little extra sweetness, watch the ingredient list on these. Sugar is the second ingredient by weight - and corn syrup is the fourth.

My own fault for not reading the ingredients - but the marketing info on this product is extremely misleading.
Basically, it's a $10 bag of blueberry candy. High Fructose Corn Syrup is the second ingredient - oil and flavoring also added. I don't have anything against candy but this stuff left my teeth tingling for hours after I ate it - I actually had to brush my teeth twice. This product should not be in the natural and organic category - don't waste your money.

Mariani Wild Blueberries, 4-Ounces Units (Pack of 12) Review

Mariani Wild Blueberries, 4-Ounces Units
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Because of the unhealthy ingredients in this product I would have rated this a ZERO, but that wasn't an option.

I bought this product thinking it would be of the same caliber as Mariani cherries, which contains "dried cherries and sugar."I'm not a fan of white sugar, nor do I buy or use it in my home, but at least it's the only other ingredient.

After I received my delivery I read the ingredients for this product- "Mariani Wild Blueberries, 3-Ounce Units (Pack of 12)", which I neglected to do so before my purchase, but I have done with almost every food item have purchased over the past 25+ years, and I found the following quite disturbing!

In addition to the blueberries there are the following ingredients:1)"Sugar" (who knows what kind. I can only assume it's refinded white sugar, but it's not as bad as the following 3), 2) "High Fructose Corn Syrup" (Nasty stuff this is!), 3) "Corn Syrup" (More nasty stuff and also useless), and 4) "Sucrose" (also known as "Splenda" with the Blueberries, and linked to health problems more than the previous 3 ingredients).ALL 4 of these are unhealthy and should be baned from all foods!I was looking for something natural and healthy. There's 'nothing' natural and healthy about white "Sugar", "High Fructose Corn Syrup", "Corn Syrup", and especially "Sucrose" (better know as "Splenda")

There is quite a bit of information available that proves these 4 ingredients are unhealthy.Search each one, or search "artificial sweeteners", and you will be surprised at the negative effects these have on the health and well being of both humans and animals, despite what the manufacturers claim.

Had I read the Amazon product description of the ingredients I would NEVER have bought this product!

I will NEVER by this product again, nor will I ever buy "Mariani Berries 'N Cherries, 6-Ounce Units (Pack of 12) again!They contain the same 4 NASTY ingredients as the "Wild Blueberries" product does!And they taste awful!NOTHING like real unadulterated dried fruit.

Mariani:You should have left nature alone, not tampered with the taste of fresh fruit, and only added some sunflower oil or Vitamin E.

P.S.I wonder if "High Fructose Corn Syrup", "Corn Syrup", and "Sucrose" are Kosher?

Traverse Bay Dried Blueberries, 4 lbs Review

Traverse Bay Dried Blueberries, 4 lbs
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My son (toddler) is obsessed with blueberries. They're his favorite snack. Fresh can be very expensive in winter--and less than tasty.

I usually like organic, but many of the organic dried blueberry options are dry and super tiny. (Probably because organic blueberries tend to be smaller to start with.) They're also quite expensive, especially at the rate we go through them.

For the price, and based on the positive reviews, I decided to give these a try. The first batch I got from Amazon was terrible. Dry, small little husks. I was upset since, even these these are a good bulk value, $50 is far from chump change, especially for a grocery item. But Amazon stepped up, assuring me it wasn't a systemic problem and sent me a new batch ASAP.

They were right. Night and day. (I must have originally got an old unit or something.) They're large plump and great in baked goods. (I have a "blueberry cream" cookie recipe that uses dried fruit and these are spectacular there.) They taste like blueberries--which is a good thing--and are good enough to eat out of hand. Home run on the second try.

The company does offer an organic version--for twice the price, on their company website--and maybe I'll give those a go next time, funds permitting. (I like to buy organic and support the concept but, ouch, $$$.)
