These 5 Dried Fruit Pantry Staples Will Make Mom’s Day
If your kitchen growing up was anything like ours, there was always a bag of dried fruit in the pantry—maybe tucked behind the cereal or stashed in a mason jar on the counter. It was one of those things that just made sense to keep around. A snack that felt satisfying, a quick fix for a sweet craving, or something to toss into a batch of muffins last-minute (because moms are good like that).
Now that we’re the ones stocking the shelves, we’re reaching for the same kind of staples—but with a few delicious upgrades. Here are five Mariani favorites that belong in every mom’s pantry this spring.
Mariani Mango — For That Sweet, Tropical Escape
When snack time calls for something sweet (and just a little tropical), Mariani Mango delivers. Sweet, juicy, and irresistibly chewy, it’s the kind of dried fruit that goes straight from pantry to lunchbox—or straight from bag to couch (no judgment).
Pair it with dark chocolate for a sweet treat, toss it into a spring salad for a bright finish, or keep it simple and snack it solo. Moms will love the taste—and the no-fuss factor.
Mariani Probiotic Prunes — The Glow-Up of a Classic Favorite
We’ve always had a soft spot for the good ol' prunes—comforting, familiar, and always stocked in mom’s kitchen. These days, they’re getting a modern refresh with a little help from BC30® probiotics.
Mariani Probiotic Prunes are moist, naturally sweet, and an easy way to support digestion as part of a daily routine. Toss them into oatmeal, blend them into a smoothie, or enjoy them as a mid-morning snack. They're as satisfying as ever—with a little extra goodness inside.
Mariani Mixed Fruit — For the Moms Who Want It All
A little sweet, a little tangy, and a lot of flavor—Mariani Mixed Fruit checks all the boxes. This classic orchard blend is a mix of prunes, peaches, pears, apples, and apricots, and it's been a go-to in our family snack drawers for as long as we can remember.
Moms can add it to baked oatmeal, pack it for road trips, or keep a stash in the desk drawer for “just in case” moments.
Mariani Dates — For Snacking, Trending Recipes, and Everyday Sweet Fixes
Chewy, caramel-y, and loaded with kitchen potential, Mariani Dates are the kind of pantry ingredient that makes moms look like culinary geniuses. Blend them into smoothies, try viral trending recipes, stuff them with nut butter and sea salt, or bake them into brownies that taste way more indulgent than they are.
In our homes, they’re a not-so-secret ingredient that gets used on repeat—and never lasts long.
Mariani Sweetened Dried Cherries — The Unexpected Favorite That Deserves a Spot in the Pantry
Tart, sweet, and dried to perfection, Mariani Sweetened Dried Cherries bring a bold pop of flavor to whatever you’re making—or snacking on.
In our homes, we toss them into trail mix, fold them into cookies (like these chewy oatmeal cherry ones), or stir them into yogurt for an easy snack. Want to get a little fancy? Try them in a bold Dried Cherry and Chipotle BBQ Sauce that levels up grilled veggies, meats, and more.

A Pantry Restock That Says “I Thought of You”
These five pantry staples are simple, reliable, and just a little indulgent—the kind of everyday things that quietly make life easier (and tastier). Moms get that. They’ve been stocking their shelves with smart picks like these for decades.
We’ve learned a lot from the moms in our family. From how to run a kitchen to how to show up in our family business. So when we talk about pantry staples, we’re not just talking about food—we’re talking about the kind of care and consistency that shows up in the everyday things that matter.
