Mariani Cranberries, Sweetened Dried 5 oz

Mariani Sweetened Dried Cranberries (5 oz) are a small, resealable pouch of tart-sweet fruit that sits in the supermarket dried fruit and baking aisle—often shelved near nuts, trail mixes, granola toppings, and other dried fruits, and occasionally merchandised with holiday-baking ingredients during seasonal displays. The Mariani name and “family owned since 1906” positioning signal a heritage brand aimed at shoppers who value tradition and reliability; marketing leans into home baking, salads, and pantry staples rather than trendy health claims. The label leans on approachable health halos—“1 serving of fruit,” “gluten free,” and a fiber statement—while also calling itself “Premium.” There’s no organic certification and the ingredient list is short (cranberries, sugar, sunflower oil), so the product presents as a convenient, slightly indulgent pantry upgrade rather than a medical or organic specialty item. In plain processing terms, these are cranberries that have been sweetened and dried, with a light oil used to keep pieces from clumping. Sensory details: each morsel is glossy and slightly tacky from added sugar and oil, chewy with a bright tartness tempered by pronounced sweetness; the texture is pliable rather than crunchy. Rituals around this pack are familiar—tossing a handful into salads, oatmeal, stuffing or baked goods, snacking by the handful on the go, or adding color and chew to charcuterie and holiday recipes. The small, easy-seal pouch encourages repeated snacking sessions and helps preserve chewiness between uses, fitting into everyday and seasonal American grocery culture as a versatile, sweet-tart pantry staple.
