Looking for the Best Dried Blueberry

Kirkland Dried Blueberries are far larger and plumper than any other dried blueberries I've ever seen, akin to a ball bearings, but they're sweetened. Can I find get an unsweetened dried blueberry like that, or is the process that makes them sickly sweet also what makes them so much larger than usual?
When fruits are dried, they tend to be sweeter, because the sugar in them is now concentrated. Or maybe I should ask, does the package say they're sweetened? As for the size, they may be a large variety. I've seen very small ones as well as large ones.

I'm diabetic and really like the no-sugar-added dried fruits from justtomatoes.com. I put 8 or 10 of their cranberries on cereal and they flavor the whole bowl.
The cranberries are crispy and crumbly, so the blueberries should be the same. As cabingirl says, you can't get them soft (like raisins) without adding sugar.
