Yes, I NOW UNDERSTAND that the cranberry beans I bought in the Jack Rabbit package are SHELLED CRANBERRY BEANS. I am now sprouting them. I shall do the stir frying with them.

I just googled Craisins. It says they are a combination of cranberries and raisins and are heavily sweetened due to the tartness of cranberries (this I undersand, I'm not THAT clueless).

Then I found a link to sugar free dried cranberries. You can put cranberries in a pot of water, add some sugar substitute (then it goes on and on how to put them in your oven, after squishing them).

Now here's another dumb question from me.

What is the difference between cranberries (that are used in craisins and that you buy them in the store (the package says "fresh cranberries), well, what is the difference between these and my Jack Rabbit Cranberry Beans?

Are these two completely different food items?

I got excited and bought the Jack Rabbit Cranberry beans because I thought I was buying cranberries.

God, I feel like a complete moron for even asking this question.
