Ocean Spray - Craisins Reviews

People here the word cranberries, and immediately think of the words TART or SOUR.  However, this product isn't like that at all!  Craisins are small dried fruit that have a very sweet, yet slightly (SLIGHTLY) tart taste.  They taste nothing like you'd imagine Cranberry juice to taste, so relax.  You'll be pleasantly surprised with them.  I promise! — The only con I can think of is that they're so good, I find them addicting.  I can't just eat a handful of them.  But I don't just eat them for the taste.  I have a history of bladder… read full review »

I tend to be a person who craves salty food.  Unlike most folks, I am almost never tempted by chocolate, caramel, cakes, or cookies.  My taste buds start watering when I smell the buttery aroma of popcorn or the golden brown goodness of french fries.  Since neither of those treats are healthy choices, I get my sodium fix by mixing assorted nuts and cashews with Ocean Spray Craisins.  This way, the saltiness of the nut helps me satisfy my craving and the sweet-tartness of the Craisins helps keep me from filling up on (high-fat) cashews. — One day, I saw a… read full review »

I don't know what made my wife decide to buy a big bag of Ocean Spray Craisins at Costco. Like everything else at Costco, you have to buy BIG -- the bag of Craisins is 48 ounces (three pounds!) and it costs $6.85. I like cranberry sauce and cranberry beverages, so I agreed with the purchase. Now, I absolutely love Craisins and prefer them to regular old raisins. — — Craisins are sweetened dried cranberries. A serving size is about 2.5 ounces, and that contains 130 calories and 33 grams of carbs. To be honest, I don't count calories. I look for fat and try to cut back on that.… read full review »

My sister has been going on and on about Ocean Spray Craisins for about two years. Not being much of a raisin fan, I've pretty muchignored her raves. In fact, I find raisins to be sickeningly sweet, and finding raisins in a cookie or other food will put me off that food forever. — Last week on a transcontinental flight, instead of pretzels or honey roasted nuts, I was handed a packet of trail mix that had Craisins in it, instead of raisins. I can't believe what I've been missing! Not sickeningly sweet,t he way raisins are, but slightly tart, they're delicious. I immediately went out… read full review »

Craisins, a sweetened dried cranberry, has put pizzazz in my salads, cereals, and granola mixes.  These tiny little fruits can be carried in your purse without mushing all over the place.  They don't go bad within a few days and are an excellent pick me up when you just plain need something to snack on. — Do be careful though--they certainly are not calorie free and can be addictive.(in a healthy sense). — Try these little gems on your plain oatmeal, or in your yogurt for lunch--makes you feel like you are having a special treat.  They are also great in cookies in… read full review »

I absolutely love these. They are wonderful it I'm hungry and don't feel like cooking. They are full of flavor and have just the right amount of tang. They fill you up very quickly as well. They are absolutely delicious. They are easily addicting.  I really don't like how expensive they are. When you are on a budet, they are not a great thing to buy. Other than that, they are wonderful.… read full review »

Craisins are so versatile. I recently used them to make bagged snacks along with a handful of nuts. My nine year-old had could hardly keep her friends at school out of them. They are good on salads, as well. And added into stuffing mixes and sauces, they add a nice layer of flavor. Good… read full review »

A great tasting healthy snack?  Yep, it exists in these.  I put Craisins in so many things.  Breakfast cereal, oatmeal, pancakes, muffins, on top of salads (my favorite).  And they're great all on their own too. … read full review »
