First - they are organic and our producer takes great care in the entire process from growing to packaging, second - they come from the Himalayan Mountains, third - they keep longer on the shelf than moist berries so they are a great survival food, fourth - you can rehydrate if you prefer them moist, fifth - since they are sun dried, you get more berries in each pound, sixth - they taste great!
