Q: Can I eat them as-is?
A: Yes. They are a dried fruit, but they are naturally tart and can be chewier than sweetened dried berries.

Q: Can I use them in tea blends?
A: Yes. Many people combine them with other berries, citrus peel, or mild herbs for a balanced cup.

Q: How do I store them after opening?
A: Keep sealed and dry to prevent moisture absorption and clumping.
