Introducing Gerbs Cape Cod Dried Fruit Snack Mix

OVERVIEW OF GERBS DRIED BLUEBERRY & CRANBERRY MIX

DRIED CRANBERRIES

Cranberries are small, tart, bright red berries from the Vaccinium macrocarpon plant, famously known for being packed with antioxidants and essential vitamins like C, A, and K. They are widely consumed for their ability to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) by blocking bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract wall, alongside supporting heart and oral health.

Description and Nutritional Profile

• Appearance/Taste: Tart, sour, and firm berries usually consumed cooked, dried, or as juice.
• Composition: They are roughly 90% water, with the remainder being carbs and fiber.
• Nutrients: Rich in fiber, Manganese, and Vitamins C, E, and K.
• Active Compounds: Cranberries contain high levels of polyphenols, particularly A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs), which provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial benefits.

Key Health Benefits

• Urinary Tract Health (UTIs): They prevent E. coli bacteria from attaching to the bladder lining, reducing infection risk.
• Heart Health: Polyphenols in cranberries may lower cardiovascular disease risk by reducing blood pressure and preventing platelet build-up.
• Antioxidant Powerhouse: Among 20 common fruits, cranberries have one of the highest levels of phenols, protecting cells from oxidative stress.
• Digestive and Oral Health: They help prevent bacteria from collecting in the mouth (reducing cavities and gum disease) and aid in gut health.

DRIED BLUEBERRIES:

Blueberries are small, dark blue-purple, nutrient-dense berries native to North America, widely considered a “superfood” due to their high antioxidant (anthocyanin) content, fiber, vitamins C and K, and manganese. Consuming them regularly may improve heart health, boost brain function, aid in blood sugar management, and reduce inflammation.

Key Characteristics and Description

• Appearance: Small, rounded berries with deep blue-black skin often covered in a silvery sheen called “bloom”.
• Taste: Sweet with a mild, tangy flavor.
• Nutritional Density: Low in calories (approx. 80 per cup) while high in nutrients, providing about 14% of daily fiber needs and 25% of daily vitamin C needs.

Key Health Benefits

• High in Antioxidants: Blueberries contain one of the highest antioxidant levels among common fruits and vegetables, specifically anthocyanins, which protect against free radicals and oxidative stress.
• Heart Health: Regularly eating blueberries can lower blood pressure, improve LDL cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
• Brain Function: They may help maintain memory function, delay age-related cognitive decline, and improve motor coordination.
• Blood Sugar Management: Their fiber content and polyphenols help improve insulin sensitivity and manage type 2 diabetes risk.
• Anti-inflammatory & Immune Boost: High Vitamin C and antioxidants help reduce inflammation, fight aging, and promote immune health.
• Digestive Health: High dietary fiber content helps prevent constipation and maintains a healthy gut.

Storage Recommendations

For the best flavor and freshness, we recommend storing your Gerbs in an airtight container in a cool, dark place such as a pantry or kitchen cabinet, away from sunlight and heat sources like the oven.

Each time the container is opened, oxygen sneaks in and can speed up rancidity, so try to keep only about one pound of product accessible at a time.

While Gerbs can be frozen, we don’t recommend it. Freezing and thawing can change the natural cell structure, which may affect texture and taste. Keep them cool, dry, and sealed tight for the best experience!

DRIED BLUEBERRY & CRANBERRY FRUIT MIX INGREDIENTS: Dried Cranberries (pure cane sugar, sunflower oil), Dried Blueberries (pure cane sugar, sunflower oil).

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!
