My family has always liked freeze-dried foods. It all started with Astronaut Ice Cream. Thankfully these fruit snacks are much healthier.
Each package has .36 oz by dried weight which is not a very large amount but seems to be just about the right amount. If you are new to eating freeze-dried fruits you will definitely want to take it slow as it some times it takes new tummies a few smaller portions to get used to a new food type. Like almost anything it can make your stomach a little upset if you eat too much at one time.
I am used to eating apples and pears and I found these to be quite good compared to the other brands I have tried in the past. The texture is great and the flavor is very good as well. These fruits must have been very good prior to freeze-drying and the perfect ripeness.
Trying this Variety Pack was my first introduction to freeze-dried tangerine. I have not had dried citrus before. I must say that it was quite tart at first, but very good. I really like them now. They are my favorite actually. The sections are full size pieces of tangerine and the texture is crisp, and they just melt in your mouth. Very good.
The only minor gripe I have is that I wish there were equal parts of each flavor and not more apples than the rest. I can understand that apples are much more economical for them to produce, but an equal mix would have been preferred by me. Otherwise I do have to give this brand and this variety pack 5 stars!
I am glad I had the opportunity to try them. I have added them to my Subscribe and Save automatic delivery now! Hope this review helps. If your think about trying a heather snack alternative you may be really pleased.
