Nutty Gritties Premium Dried Berries Mix
Published · Updated
Nutty Gritties Premium Dried Berries Mix is a snack of dried cranberries, strawberries, black currants and blueberries, sweetened with added sugar and a little sunflower oil. It scores [L]DB4: low on nutrition because protein is slight, ingredients lose points for a no-added-sugar claim that the listed sugar contradicts, and risk is high on the added sugar. Best as a small occasional handful.

What to know about Nutty Gritties Premium Dried Berries Mix
Dried berries with 44 g added sugar
A 200 g pack of dried berries: cranberries (30%), strawberries (25%), black currants (25%) and blueberries (20%), with sugar and a little sunflower oil. It is bought as a sweet-tart snack to carry, to scatter over breakfast or to pair with a meal.
Per 100 g it has 385.7 kcal, 72.6 g carbohydrate, 65.6 g total sugar (44 g of it added), 5.2 g fibre and 1.7 g protein. The pack's 28 g serve, about a seventh of the pack, gives 108 kcal, 12.3 g added sugar and 1.5 g fibre.
The pack says it has no added sugar or preservatives, but sugar is listed right after the berries, and that is what sets the [L] flag. The back also says fat free and low calorie, which sit awkwardly beside 9.8 g fat and 385.7 kcal per 100 g. CleanPlate scores it [L]DB4.
Does Nutty Gritties Premium Dried Berries Mix live up to its claims?
The fibre figure holds, but the no-added-sugar claim does not: sugar is listed and added sugar is 44 g per 100 g. Fat free and low calorie are framed, not plain.
- On the packMisleading
“No Added Sugar Or Preservatives”
Sugar is listed in the ingredients, and the panel shows 44 g added sugar per 100 g. No preservative is listed.
- On the packHolds
“Dietary Fiber Source (1.5 g per serve)”
Fibre is 5.2 g per 100 g, so about 1.5 g in a 28 g serve.
- On the packBe careful
“Fat Free”
The panel shows 9.8 g fat per 100 g, about 2.7 g per serve. It is modest in a serve, but not fat free.
- On the packBe careful
“Low Calorie”
385.7 kcal per 100 g is energy-dense. A 28 g serve has 108 kcal, which is low only because the serve is small.
- On the packBe careful
“Vitamin C-powered berry goodness”
Vitamin C is declared at 7.6 mg per 100 g, about 2.1 mg in a 28 g serve, a small amount.
Why Nutty Gritties Premium Dried Berries Mix scores [L]DB4
Nutrition is a D on 1.7 g protein per 100 g and a sugar-heavy base. Ingredients are a B, held back by the no-added-sugar claim. Risk is a 4 on 44 g added sugar per 100 g.
Low nutrient density
- Protein
- 1.7 g
- Fibre
- 5.2 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- Vitamin C
- Energy
- 386 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 1.7 g per 100 g, which is 0.5 g from the cranberries, and fibre is 5.2 g per 100 g. That is not enough to lift the grade, and most of the energy comes from sugar.
The only micronutrient declared is vitamin C at 7.6 mg per 100 g, about 2.1 mg in a 28 g serve, which adds nothing meaningful.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is simple and mostly fruit: four berries with declared shares, then sugar and sunflower oil. No additive of concern is present, and no hydrogenated fat is listed, so the trans fat of 0 g is accepted.
The four berry shares add up to 100%, so the sugar and oil come on top, with no amount stated for either. The pack promises no added sugar while sugar is listed, which costs label-integrity points and sets the [L].
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 44 g
- Sodium
- 2 mg
- Saturated fat
- 3.5 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar drives the risk number: 44 g of added sugar per 100 g is well above the high line, and one 28 g serve has 12.3 g.
Energy adds some, at 385.7 kcal per 100 g or 108 kcal per serve. Saturated fat (3.5 g per 100 g) and sodium (2.0 mg per 100 g) are low and play almost no part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
[L] The name or pack claims promise more than the ingredient list delivers. See Claims vs reality.

What's in Nutty Gritties Premium Dried Berries Mix?
Four berries lead the list, then sugar and sunflower oil. The added sugar, which has no percentage declared, is what to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Cranberries (30%), strawberries (25%), black currants (25%) and blueberries (20%) lead, so the base is dried fruit. Sugar follows with no percentage, then sunflower oil, which is typically used to keep dried fruit from sticking.
Ingredients to watch

44 g per 100 g, 12.3 g in a 28 g serve. The rest of the 65.6 g total sugar comes from the fruit itself.

Sugar is listed in the ingredients, so the promise on the side of the pack is hollow. It costs ingredient points.

5.2 g per 100 g from the berries, 1.5 g in a serve.
