Guest guest Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hi folks: It seems that cranberries are healthy, so when I saw some dried cranberries in the 'most health-serious' food store around here, I bought some to try them out. They taste excellent. So good in fact that it made me wonder what else was in them besides just cranberries. I had expected them to be tart, for example, and they weren't. So I enquired about the ingredient list for the product. First ingredient is cranberries (phew!); but the second is hydrogenated vegetable oil (explains the nice not-too-dry texture); the third sugar (explains the lack of tartness); and the fourth was sulphites (not a big deal, imo). Now this has me wondering about other dried fruits. Do they also contain hydrogenated fats? Will they pretty soon be growing genetically modified cranberries that already contain the extra sugar, sulphites and hydrogenated vegetable oil, so they don't have to add them to the ingredient list?
