Production & Sourcing
Sugar-infused dried blueberries are typically made by immersing dried blueberries in a sugar syrup or solution. The blueberries are often first dried to reduce their moisture content and then delicately infused or coated with a sugar mixture. This process allows the blueberries to absorb the sweetness and moisture from the sugar, resulting in plumper, slightly tacky berries with a sweeter taste. After the infusion, they are dried again to achieve the desired texture and moisture level, creating the sugar-infused dried blueberries.
