Berry Bits ... Only the “Berry Best” from the healthiest red fruit in the world ... Cranberries

It’s not a raw cranberry, it’s not a sweetened dried cranberry, it’s a whole new cranberry.

Alpine Food’s Berry Bits cranberries, with 75% of the acid removed, are sweet enough to eat raw.

Using nothing more than temperature, pressure, and vacuum, Alpine Foods removes 75% of the acidity from the cranberry

but keeps the juice intact. The result is a “fresh” cranberry transformed.

Instead of being super-puckery tart, (too tart to pop in your mouth and eat), Berry Bits are mildly tart, similar to the hint of sour

in a fresh strawberry.

You can eat these babies out of hand, no sugar needed; add them to your oatmeal, toss them in a fruit salad. Desserts can be made

with much less added sugar. Chemically they work better in baked goods and Berry Bits are compatible with dairy products

and meats.

Historically, commercial bakers have shied away from heavy use of cranberries because of the problems they cause in baked goods.

Because of their high acid level, any leavening in the batter surrounding the cranberries is effectively killed, causing holes

in the baked good and an off-flavor. Likewise, conventional cranberries react with dairy products and meats to impart a rancid

or bitter flavor.

The less acidic Berry Bit cranberry is a much happier match for both. Berry Bits are ideal for use in ice cream, yogurt, baked items,

and can be used to make flavorful sauces and toppings.
