NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF DRIED RAISINS

Raisins look very simple and unpalatable with their aged appearance and dry texture but they are one of the nature’s healthy alternatives to those sugar-rich manufactured candies and sweet products!

STORAGE OF GERBS

We strongly recommend storing in an airtight container in a cool, dark environment like a pantry or kitchen cabinet, away from direct exposure to sunlight or excessive heat like an oven. The amount of times you open the container and let in the harmful effects of oxygen will only increase the likelihood of rancidity; thus we encourage you to not empty more than 1 pound of product at a time. Gerbs can be frozen too, but we do not recommend it, because the cell structures will change as the product thaws out!
