SonomaCrisps says: Natural and Baked Slowly Cooked Crunchy Apple
Abi says: I’m a sucker for these baked fruit snacks. They’re stupidly expensive and yet I cannot stop eating them. I could get an ounce of caviar for less than this! Okay, maybe not an ounce of caviar, but certainly an ounce of other things.
Like chocolate.
Each crisp is like an old, under-developed french fry. You know – the ones that you find under the car seat when you decide to undertake that once-yearly vehicle vacuuming session. Yes, these fries crisps aren’t rock-hard and gross. They’re dry and crunchy, but not scary-dry, suck-all-the-spit-from-your-mouth dry like the . The cinnamon adds a bit of spice without overpowering the sweetness of the apple. If you’re rich and you really, really want to eat a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, but you’re also on a diet, give these crispy apple straws a try.

Brothers International Food Corporation says: We start with luscious fruit, straight from some of the best growing regions in the world. We then send it directly to our state-of-the-art FREEZE DRIED process that gently removes the water from the fresh fruit, and transforms it into a delicious, delightfully light, and flavorful CRISP. As always, we simply use fruit, nothing artificial, definitely no added sugar…just fruit, THE BEST FRUIT.
We say: These berries were one of the many food items we foisted on our colleagues this year. They were also our first experience with freeze dried food. Somehow, we managed to resist the freeze dried ice cream during childhood trips to OMSI and the Pacific Science Center. In the gift shop was generally more enamored of the hand boilers.
Sure, we considered consuming the entire .26 ounces of fruit along, but then we would have missed seeing Chad, Kate, and Josh realize that they’d just consumed strawberry-flavored styrofoam. We kid. These are not made of styrofoam, they just taste the way styrofoam would taste if it was made very sour and produced in the color of dried blood. We do not kid about the dried blood part.
Brothers All Natural’s freeze dried fruits aren’t just a flavor explosion, they’re also a textural experience. Each little berry will suck all of the saliva out of your mouth and into the product, thus making it possible for you to experience desert-like thirst and an uncomfortably full mouth at the same time.
Only after exhorting my colleagues to consume these berries did we realize that they were from China. Holy crap, we’re eating freeze-dried strawberries from China? Isn’t that a little ridiculous? I mean, I can see purchasing other things from China, like silk, catfish, and toothpaste, but strawberries? From now on, I’m not willing to go any further than Chile to get my red, sour, styrofoamy fruit.
