Dried Blueberries Hidden Ingredients Revealed

Reading the label on these Freeze Dried Blueberries, you're looking at a very simple ingredient list: just freeze-dried blueberries. With 71g of sugar per 100g, they pack a concentrated fruit sweetness that feels like a treat. The crisp, airy texture shatters satisfyingly in your mouth, leaving a pure blueberry dust. I tucked a bag into my work tote last week, and they were the perfect light crunch to get me through a sluggish afternoon slump without feeling heavy. They are a fantastic, clean option for a quick boost, though the intense sweetness might be a bit much if you're sensitive to sugary flavors.

These Dried Blueberries (score 3.0) list their sugar content at 70g per 100g, which is quite high. The ingredient list is still updating, but typically this style of dried fruit is sweetened and chewy. They have that dense, satisfying chew that feels substantial, making them a great addition to a morning oatmeal or a hike trail mix. I grabbed a handful for a long car ride, and the sticky sweetness was a welcome energy jolt. However, the texture can sometimes feel a bit tough if you don't love a chewy snack, and the added sugar is definitely something to keep in mind.

This is a standout option with a near-perfect score of 9.9 and, most impressively, 0g of sugar per 100g according to the label. The ingredients are updating, but the nutritional profile suggests a pure, unadulterated freeze-dried fruit experience. The texture is likely that of a delicate, airy crisp that dissolves almost instantly. I can see keeping these in my gym bag for a pre-workout snack that won't spike my blood sugar. The only potential trade-off is that without any added sweetness, the tartness of the blueberry is fully exposed, which some palates might find too sharp compared to sweeter varieties.

With a score of 2.8 and 72g of sugar per 100g, this is another dried blueberry option that leans heavily on sweetness. The ingredients are still updating, so it's hard to gauge the full picture, but the nutritional data points to a conventional dried fruit. They offer that classic, slightly sticky chew that's great for kids' lunchboxes or a quick desk-side snack. I used these to make a batch of blueberry muffins, and they plumped up beautifully in the batter. The main drawback is the lack of ingredient transparency right now, which is a bummer for anyone trying to avoid specific additives like sulfites or oils.

This Dried Blueberry (score 2.8) has a label that gives us the most detail: blueberries, sugar, and sunflower oil. With 72g of sugar per 100g, it's firmly in the sweet camp, but the addition of sunflower oil gives it a slightly richer mouthfeel and prevents it from being overly dry. The texture is likely a soft, moist chew. I found these to be a great counterpoint in a salad with goat cheese and walnuts, adding a burst of sweetness. The trade-off is the oil, which can leave a subtle, slightly greasy film on your fingers, but it's a minor point for the flavor.
