 Plump and Tasty .... But Took Two Shipping Tries to Get it RightMay 30, 2009
By S. WIlliams
My son (toddler) is obsessed with blueberries. They're his favorite snack. Fresh can be very expensive in winter--and less than tasty.
I usually like organic, but many of the organic dried blueberry options are dry and super tiny. (Probably because organic blueberries tend to be smaller to start with.) They're also quite expensive, especially at the rate we go through them.
For the price, and based on the positive reviews, I decided to give these a try. The first batch I got from Amazon was terrible. Dry, small little husks. I was upset since, even these these are a good bulk value, $50 is far from chump change, especially for a grocery item. But Amazon stepped up, assuring me it wasn't a systemic problem and sent me a new batch ASAP.
They were right. Night and day. (I must have originally got an old unit or something.) They're large plump and great in baked goods. (I have a "blueberry cream" cookie recipe that uses dried fruit and these are spectacular there.) They taste like blueberries--which is a good thing--and are good enough to eat out of hand. Home run on the second try.
The company does offer an organic version--for twice the price, on their company website--and maybe I'll give those a go next time, funds permitting. (I like to buy organic and support the concept but, ouch, $$$.)

 Great with everything- can't beat the price!May 06, 2008

I've been buying dried blueberries from the grocery store for ages, and struggled everytime I had to buy a tiny bag that only lasted 2 days. I went online to see if I could find them in bulk, and low and behold...! I use these on everything: Spinach salads, cereal, yogurt, trail mix, even just to snack on plain. These blueberries are acutally better than the ones I was buying before, because they don't have High Fructose Corn Syrup. Sugar is actually healthier and tastes better. I will buy these again and again.

 Too much sugar!May 21, 2009
By Dragon Slayer
Too bad they don't have a sugar-free option. They taste like raisins with all the sugar. Good perhaps with breakfast food but not so much for a snack.

Traverse Dried BlueberriesFeb 05, 2009
By Izzie

These blueberries are delicious. I just wish they sold an alternate version without sugar or oil. Blueberries shouldn't need sugar or, at least, I prefer them that way.
Shipping time was reasonably quick. It seemed slow to me just because I was anxious to get them!
Reasonable price, too.

These blueberries are FULL of flavor!Aug 30, 2009
By L. Walker
"licensed Home Baker"
We are licensed Home Bakers in Vermont and people think we bake with FRESH blueberries...that is how good these blueberries are! When we explain that we bake with dried blueberries they are astounded. Traverse Bay blueberries have minimal processing and since we do not use any preservatives or anything artificial in our baking we appreciate that ! Just note these blueberries are NOT small as some blueberries are that are grown in other parts of the country.
