Van Drunen Farms Introduces Freeze-Dried and Drum-Dried Cranberries

MOMENCE, Ill.Van Drunen Farms introduced freeze-dried and drum-dried cranberries. This tart and tangy fruit bears a powerful pack of nutrients. Cranberries have been shown to be naturally high in proanthocyanina, anthocynanins, polyphenols, organic acids, vitamins and minerals. In addition, cranberries have been known to support urinary tract health and have powerful antioxidant qualities useful for heart and oral health.

Van Drunen Farms freeze-dried cranberry is a 100-percent natural ingredient with no preservatives; and the freeze-drying process preserves the cranberrys natural color, shape, flavor and nutrient attributes. The drum-drying process negates piece identity, but also retains much of the cranberrys original flavor, color and nutritional value.

Both freeze-dried and drum-dried cranberry ingredients add real cranberry flavor and functionality to a variety of food products, including breakfast cereals, nutrition bars, smoothie mixes, nutritional supplements, baby foods, bakery items and pet food applications. Van Drunen Farms freeze-dried cranberries are available in whole, sliced, diced and powder forms. Drum-dried cranberry is offered in flake or powder form.
