Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Newman’s Own Organics and their fantastic line of dried organic fruits. What I love about their line of products is that all of them are USDA certified organic!
Newman’s Own Organics is proud to partner with U.S. Certified Organic Farms and Processors whose commitment to Certified Organic practices make these fine organic dried fruits available to you, the consumer.
I previously reviewed Newman’s Own Organics dried fruits in their berry blend and apples flavors. This time around I get to review 2 additional flavors…the organic dried prunes and the organic dried cranberries.
First Up…the dried Organic Prunes. I am usually not a prune lover because frankly…a lot of times dried prunes can be bland or bitter…I have never found a brand that had a nice taste to them until now! I love the Newman’s Own Organics dried prunes! They are super moist, chewy and have a very nice naturally sweet taste to them. Matter of fact, I had to be careful to not eat the entire bag that way I wouldn’t have to spend all day in the little girl’s room if you know what I mean! Seriously though, I love these prunes! (I even purchased a second bag at the grocery store Sunday morning).
Second Up…the dried Organic Cranberries. I have always loved cranberries and often use them when I bake breads, muffins or even when I make pancakes. On Saturday I used a 1/4 cup of the cranberries in my pancake batter and let me tell you…our cranberry pancakes were delicious! On Sunday I used a 1/2 cup of them in my quick bread mix and made a loaf of cranberry apple bread and trust me….it was delicious! I shared some of my bread with my neighbors over coffee on Sunday afternoon and Jessica raved and raved about my bread! I of course told her all about Newman’s Own Organics and gave her my recipe.
Overall Impression: I am now a HUGE fan of all of the Newman’s Own Organics dried fruits! I love them as a snack, in our oatmeal, in our pancake batter, in our muffin batter and of course…in my bread batter! From now on…I will always have Newman’s Own Organics dried fruit packages stocked in my pantry for when I need them. I highly recommend that you check out these products as they are delicious! They are not all dried out and hard like most brands…these are moist & chewy dried fruits that have a wonderful natural taste to them. They rock! When I hit the store again, I plan on purchasing the apricots and giving those a try next.
