Does anyone know where you can order dried unsweetened berries? Every place I check that has dried berries (blueberries, cherries & etc.) seem to have them covered with suger! I'm wanting to make some fruit bars by buying alot of different natural dried berries and mixing them with raw honey! I know some people on the raw diet don't use raw honey, but honey really helps me with that extra energy I need with weight training & alot of cardio that I do! I already eat alot of bananas & greens! I can't eat alot of fats they make me feel worse then better!
So I thought instead of making nut bars I can make fruit bars! I want to make my fruit bars out of fruits that I don't eat much of, so that I'm not only getting more calories and carbs, but also more nutrients that my body's not getting!
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance! Have a great fruitful day!

The Raw Choice is a brand I get at my local health food store. It has dried unsweetened cherrys and gogi berrys and a number of other ones. I absolutely LOVE their Chili Lime Mangos :rolleyes:
I haven't tried to look them up on the web...hmmm when I get a free minute, I shouldn't even be here! :o
Good Luck!

Thanks I have a organic store I go to when I get a time that's about 45 minutes away from where I live! I can ask them if they don't have any! I hope I can maybe find them on the internet if I can't get them from the store! Thanks again for your help!

I've seen them at various places on the Internet but they are very expensive. My health food store carries cherries and some other unsweetened fruit. But not blueberries or cranberries. I am making my own cranberries but now I've found unsweetened ones at my local market. If you have a dehydrator you can easily make your own. But if you're going to do cranberries I advise cutting them in half first.

Thanks Juliebove for your info on how to save money on the dried fruits and about dehydrating them! That will give me a big step forward! Besides I plan on ordering that good dehydrator that Alissa sales with the 9 trays. I'm just going to have to order the dehydrator before I can save me some money!
Thanks Veganforlife for that website because that will do me alot of good too. I'm sure there will be other things I order from that site besides the dried fruits!
Thanks
