About Craisins
Craisins are sweetened dried cranberries launched in 1993, created to use fruit that was not suitable for juice. They opened an entirely new outlet for the crop and are now a substantial part of the cooperative's business. Ocean Spray is owned by the cranberry and grapefruit growers who supply it, so the new outlet raised returns to its own members.
