Are unsweetened or less-sweet dried cranberries readily commercially available? Do they taste nasty?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cranberrie are not sweet on their own. So doubt they would be good without sugar, and don't know how little one could get away with.

Because books.
What Jesse said. Unless you're diabetic, you don't need to worry about blood sugar if you're eating mostly healthy and get exercise.
Are unsweetened or less-sweet dried cranberries readily commercially available?
The bag I have of organic ones is 130 calories for a 1/4 cup, and is 34g of carbs. That's two fruit servings for a diabetic, so when you think about eating a whole small banana or peach, the cranberries don't seem so great.
I don't know if I've ever seen unsweetened ones.
I'm procrastinating like a mofo. Who knew looking up diabetic exchanges would be a fun distraction?

Man. I got up and went to brunch, and it was hard because of DST. I ordered a heart attack on a plate, and got full so fast that the portion I ate probably wasn't that bad for me. Then I walked to Target for air filters. I accidentally bought some DVDs, because the Persuasion with Ciaran Hinds was on sale for $5. Also gin.
Got over 3 miles of walking done already today. Still congested, though.

Msbelle, I deliberately didn't reset my alarm clock because I couldn't remember if it reset or not. It didn't. Now I have to figure out how to reset the damn thing.
I had a carbtastic and delicious supper: Chickpea curry, basmati rice, naan, mango chutney.
Also, I have had big breakfasts late both days this weekend, causing me to skip lunch and eat supper super early. I was finished supper AT five!
I have no idea what time it is...

Advice needed. Is Universal Studios really worth the $74 ($74!) or should I just stay here on the patio and have another beer?

But then I've weaned my self off a lot of things tha t have extra sugar in them ( why does peanut butter have sugar in it)
Peanut butter doesn't have to have sugar! I usually get the "simply jif" or something like that--which has peanuts, oil, and sometimes salt.

I haven't seen unsweetened dried cranberries, but I'm pretty sure the frozen cranberries I get are unsweetened, and I've gotten unsweetened cranberry juice before.
Eta: peanut butter with sugar in it is nasty. I always get Laura Scudder or Trader Joe's brands that are just peanuts and salt.
