Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted May 8, 2018 Two brands of frozen berries More expensive "better" brand is 16 grams of sugar and 130 calories per 8 oz. Cheap Great Value brand from Walmart is 10 grams of sugar and 80 calories per 8 oz Both have strawberry, blueberry, BlackBerry, raspberry. No extra ingredients added including sugar. Why such a large difference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted May 8, 2018 could be higher quality berries, could be that a little more sugar + a little more calories = more expensive, not everyone is looking for the lowest sugar, lowest calorie item. Someone using the frozen berries for protein smoothies looking to gain weight would want the higher calorie bag. idk. just throwing out random guesses aside from the obvious name brand vs generic.

vuduchile 1,941 Posted May 8, 2018 Ratio of berries differs between the 2 brands. Strawberries have less grams of sugar per cup blueberries, and so on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted May 8, 2018 That's another good guess as strawberries and raspberries and such are more expensive than bluberries Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bandrus1 413 Posted May 8, 2018 That's another good guess as strawberries and raspberries and such are more expensive than bluberries Really? Strawberries are much cheaper than blueberries here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bandrus1 413 Posted May 8, 2018 I was actually happy to see less sugar in the cheaper brand. 100 percent don't blame you.... If there is no flavor difference in whatever you use them in I think the answer is to buy the cheap less sugar ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,038 Posted May 8, 2018 it says each is per 8 OZ Yeah. I'm trying to say he probably fücked up. People make mistakes on units of measure. What if it was 2 eight ounce bags? One was one serving and the other said 2 servings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted May 8, 2018 I think I may have realized where the difference is. One is measured in 8 ounces. One is measured as one cup. I just assumed they meant fluid ounces with both. The 8 oz measurement is probably weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
