These are awesome cranberries and they are cheaper here than in other larger whole foods type places. I like that there are individual packets so they don't get dried out. Perfect!

These cranberries are moist and not rubbery at all. There is not too much added sugar either, so the tartness is just right. The taste is very fresh too.

We buy these cranberries almost weekly! My husband and I like them in our salads, and the kids love to eat them as snacks. Great with cereal and trail mix too!

I first bought these in a grocery store, but I believe Amazon's price is better so I buy them here regularly. I like to buy Newman's Own products and organic is also important. The cranberries have good flavor and texture.

Newman's cranberries are all the other reviews say- really good. If you add them when you start to cook hot cereals (like oatmeal,kamut, rye etc) they puff up to almost fresh size. Good price, good product, good for you.

These are the best dried cranberries ever. I sometimes pay extra for organic foods and this was more economical than the more notable non-organic brands.

Juicy, delicious dried cranberries. I use them anywhere from baking, topping off a parfait, or adding them to cereal. Good stuff.

It is hard to find commercially grown cranberries without pesticides. And from what I can gather, cranberries are one of the fruits with the largest amounts used. Our family tries to eat a variety of berries as a part of our diet. We rotate between blueberries, strawberries and cranberries, eating what is in season fresh when we can. These cranberries taste great, although I would not mind if they were a little less sweet. Each pouch claims to contain three 1/4 cup servings, but we usually get four out of a pouch. On subscribe and save, they are about 66 cents a serving.

Original Review Summer 2008 (original review was no longer attached to item):

These are by far the plumpest, juiciest dried cranberries that I have ever tasted. Yes, there is a smidgen of sugar and sunflower oil but I have yet to see any dried cranberries without those added. I love to toss a handful into cereal--hot or cold--for an added taste treat.

Incidentally, these are 6 4-ounce bags of the tasty treats.


Update: I've reduced the number of stars as I have a new favorite Oskri Cranberries, Dried, 3.53 Ounce Bags (Pack of 12)and my choice of 4 stars may be confusing to some.

When comparing the two dried cranberries, side-by-side, the Oskri are by far, the better of the two. When taking the Oskri out of the equation and comparing the Newman's Own cranberries to other brands out there, then Newman's Own stands above the rest.

If, what you are looking for is a replacement for all of the varieties out there in the marketplace, then Newman's Own are for you. If you are looking for a fabulous dried cranberry fit for just munching, then reach for the Oskri.

I actually like to keep both brands on hand. There are times, when I am baking, that the Newman's Own Cranberries are my preferred cranberry. If I am substituting cranberries for raisins in a recipe, then odds are that I will choose the Newman's Own over the Oskri. If I am baking something where the cranberry is the centerpiece, then I choose the Oskri.

Your mileage may vary.

I will have to active my subscription subscribe and save order when I can! AND add some others!!
