FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long do sweetened dried blueberries last?
They typically last 6-12 months in a cool, dry pantry. If refrigerated, they can stay fresh for up to a year.
Can I freeze dried blueberries?
Yes, they freeze very well. Use an airtight freezer bag to prevent freezer burn; they will remain good for up to 24 months.
What is a good substitute for sweetened dried blueberries?
Dried cranberries (craisins), dried currants, or raisins are the best alternatives in most recipes.
Are dried blueberries as healthy as fresh ones?
They contain similar antioxidants and fiber, but are much higher in calories and sugar per gram due to the drying process and added sweeteners.
How do I rehydrate dried blueberries for baking?
Place them in a bowl and cover with boiling water or fruit juice for 10-15 minutes, then drain and pat dry before using.
Why are they often coated in oil?
Many commercial brands add a tiny amount of sunflower or vegetable oil to prevent the berries from sticking together in the package.
Can I use these in place of fresh blueberries in pancakes?
Yes, but they will be much sweeter and have a chewy texture. It is recommended to rehydrate them slightly first so they don't absorb too much moisture from the batter.
How can I tell if they have gone bad?
Look for signs of mold, an off-smell (rancid oil smell), or if they have become excessively hard and brittle.
