Hi There..... Do you want healthy fruit snacks at work too, but without the hassle of cutting up fruits in the morning? Have you ever tried freeze-dried fruit?

I love the taste of fruits, but it's often such a hassle. Take an orange, for instance, I just hate to peel them? It's somewhat of a love-hate relationship for me. π
Even though I love oranges, often I don't even buy them because I hate peeling them first, and don't get me started on the sticky hands afterward. π
It's the same with lemons. I buy lemon juice from concentrate because I hate the hassle of peeling them. Once a day though I just want to have the real thing, because it's soooo much better. π
Don't you just love it when you are drinking your cup of tea with genuine lemon in it, and some segments have been cut open? π
You take a sip and a few of the juice sacs slip into your mouth. So sour that you have to shake your head, but so good at the same time. Ah, there you have it, the proof that I am genuinely nuts. π
Glad to know I'm not the only one though, because Justin Bieber said, "I'm crazy, I'm nuts. Just the way my brain works. I'm not normal. I think differently." π
Still, I am sane enough to tell you more about the dried fruit jars Droogfruit sent me in exchange for my honest opinion. π
What is Freeze-dried fruit?
Freeze-dried fruit is lightweight and very crunchy. It is not a frozen fruit as it claims, but a name for the special drying method in which only the water is removed from the fruit.
As a result, no less than 97% of all substances are preserved, ideal for children who do not get enough fruit. Freeze-dried fruit is pure nature.
Advantages
The great thing about freeze-dried fruit is that after freeze-drying, up to 97% of the substances are preserved. You can keep the fruit closed in the cupboard for a long time, provided it is in the right condition.
Freeze-dried fruit borders on perfection. It's the best drying method. The fruit has a crunchy structure due to freeze-drying. Suitable as a snack, breakfast cereal, but also for your children to take to school, ice cream, etc.
The advantage of freeze-dried fruit is that it contains no added sugars or other additives. The fruit is tasteful enough on its own, and we are tired of all those weird additions! π
Fruit powders
Are you looking for crushed fruit for processing in your smoothie, yogurt, or dishes, and are you looking for a solution? Then look here. We have a large range of fruit powders.
Our fruit powders are pure, so they consist of 100% fruit. With our banana, strawberry, and pear powders, you can make the best smoothies. Doesn't that sound great?
My opinion on the dried fruit
I was so happy they picked me to write a review for them. Since my Gastric Bypass, I am always looking for healthy alternatives to snack on. π
These healthy fruit snacks are perfect to snack on if you ask me. They can also be an excellent alternative for people that like eating candy. π
Dried fruit has a tremendous advantage because it contains no added sugars, but still moderation is key. π
Now, the one thing you have been waiting for, how does it taste? I received a selection of 8 fruits to try. π¦
Strawberry:
Crunchy and sweet with a hint of sour.
Blueberry:
Crunchy and sweet and slightly sour.
Tangerine:
Slightly chewy and a little sticky. Sweet with a hint of sourness.
Banana:
Very crunchy and sweet.
Apple:
Very crunchy and sweet, with a slight hint of sourness.
Pineapple:
Very crunchy and sweet, with a slight hint of sourness.
Redcurrent:
Crunchy and sour, with tiny seeds in them.
Raspberry:
Crunchy and sour.
I love all of them except for the redcurrant. The seeds get in between my teeth, and that's annoying, but it's all a matter of taste, of course. π
Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Wat handige voor kinderen welke niet makkelijk groente of fruit eten.
ReplyDeleteWat handig zeg! Op die manier is het veel makkelijker om fruit te eten onderweg.
ReplyDeleteIk heb ook droogfruit ontvangen, moet het nog proeven. Ideaal als topping ergens op. Nadeel van gedroogd fruit (& smoothies/versgeperst sap) ten opzichte van vers fruit is de hoeveelheid suiker.
ReplyDeleteIk doe eigenlijk nooit iets met droogfruit, heb liever vers fruit
ReplyDeleteSuperhandig! En ook makkelijk voor kinderen om netjes te eten
