Questions & Answers

Comparing them to freeze dried banana slices, how do they compare? Would the texture and other aspects be ?

This is an okay quality snack. It's bigger than a quarter and crunchy and soft at the same time.

Is it possible to make tea with them?

The reason for not doing so is not apparent to me. You might have to break them up if you look at them like dried fruit in flavored teas. They are whole fruit, so you may need to smash them.

What does the package say about it? On the print it says freeze dried, but on the packaging ?

have no idea why this is happening. When I received a package I assumed it was freeze dried, but instead it was dehydrated. I was looking for a crispy texture, but it wasn't there.

Is it possible to freeze these?

They are for my rabbit, though I don't eat them. I do freeze them all of the time.

It's good to have a snack before bed
4/5

Having enjoyed the puffy crisp bananas from the fruit sample packs, I bought the larger container, expecting the same product. However, as another customer also stated, these are NOT the same bananas found in the sample packs. Banana chips in this pack are about half the thickness of the ones in the sampler packs, and the quality is variable. My order of banana chips has been different every time I have ordered it. I've ordered this size of chips before, and each bag is different. When I got my first bag, even though they were not crispy or very puffy, they were chewy and tasted like normal banana chips. The only downside is they are fully vegan, and have zero additives and no allergens, so I will order In addition to having a good flavor, the second bag I bought was crisp, puffy (though still smaller in size) and has the same great texture as the previous bag. It's too early to tell how thickly the bananas are in the third bag, but they look similar in quality to the bananas In spite of the mixed consistency of the product, I am enjoying these fruit chips so far. Tastes good, does not upset my stomach (as some with additives do), do not cause allergic reactions (since there is only peanut butter in there), and there is very little fruit bits or powder at the bottom of the bag- I highly recommend. There is no waste on these bananas. I also find these bananas work great as a bedtime snack. As a result, I am able to sleep better at night because they satisfy my sweet tooth at night and calm my restlessness.

The first time I tried them, I thought they were horrible, but I found them quite pleasant
5/5

When I grew up in Tennessee, the smell of persimmons when they fell from the tree was familiar to me. This was something that I hadn't thought of trying, but I was pleasantly surprised by the smell and taste. The texture and taste are very similar to that of They are similar to them, so you will also like them. The soap has persimmon in it since I am using it to get rid of the "old person" scent I have formed over the From where I am, it appears it will work both on the inside and from the outside. If anything changes, I will update this post.

NO, they are not freeze dried - they are dehydrated A label and a picture that are misleading
3/5

It was advertised that the apples were freeze dried, so I ordered them. The crispy/crunchy/melty texture of this process is what I was looking for. Not paying attention to the actual package pictures, but the large descriptions and pictures, would have saved me time and effort. We are talking about a different kind of apple product here -- dehydrated apple products. There should be no mention of freeze drying in the description or photos.

You can make banana chips
4/5

The only thing that makes me happy is when things are good. There are better banana chips out there, but these are not my favorite. My opinion of them is that they are ok, but not However, they do stick to your teeth, but I believe this is a problem with all of them. Furthermore, their flavor is not great. Definitely banana flavor, but there's also a slight hint of a different flavor as well There are a lot of chips and it seems pricey for what you get, but I haven't compared them to other stores (outside of Amazon), so for all I know it could be a great OK, so I understand where you're coming from- The taste was good to an extent A small size to fit almost anywhere As long as they are kept in an airtight jar, I hope they will last a long time, but we will As of right now, I have not made a decision. If I don't make a decision before eating them all (LOL), I'll end up eating them all.

I appreciated the prompt resolution of the product quality issue by customer service! I revise my 1 star review from yesterday
5/5

A customer of Karen's Naturals has contacted them and has asked for a full replacement of the product. The product is soft not crunchy after opening. I ordered a case, opened one, and it was all soft and not As the packages of the six-pack appear to be soft and not crunchy, I have examined them all. I looked at the packaging and it looks older but I didn't see that it was In the last week, I got a four pack of the newer packaging and none of the items were affected. This was a very disappointing experience for a product that otherwise is fantastic and that I can eat at this pace. I will be contacting the seller since the product is not returnable through Amazon, but this was a very disappointing experience all in all.

This is what you need! They are rated so low! I cannot understand why they are rated so low! I am so confused about why these are rated so low! What a great idea! It is a major effort on my part to acquire these items
5/5

When I order them 4 bags at a time, I either drive 30 minutes to the only store in my area where I can purchase them or go to the only store 30 minutes away. My 5 year old's favorite snack is freeze dried grapes. Voici une tip. When not kept airtight, they loose their crunch if we don't I put them in a ziploc bag or use Glad press n seal to wrap the whole bag.

The grapes in the fruit salad mix aren't as good as the grapes in the fruit salad
3/5

The grapes in the fruit salad mix were the only flavor my kid liked, so I bought this, but these aren't dry enough, they stick to your teeth like taffy and don't taste freeze dried at all. Is it possible that they are defective? Their price seems so high for something no one would eat.

Figs and pineapples combined with perfection
5/5

The pineapple dices are excellent because they have been freeze dried. Featuring a bit of zing, this snack is sweet, crunchy, and delicious. A snack for my one year old daughter (who has only two teeth) that is in exactly the right size, shape, and texture. It is small enough so as not to be a choking hazard, but large enough that she can pick it up and Despite not having teeth, she can still bite into them because they are crunchy without being hard. It's a project she loves, it's a project I love, and it's a project we all love. Is there anything better than healthy pineapple (100 percent pineapple, nothing else) that's tasty, convenient (we take them with us when we're on the go), and convenient?.
