Tastes Great in Tea These freeze-dried raspberries are larger than I expected. They're crunchy and full of sour/sweet flavor, but difficult to eat as a snack. I can't just munch on them because of the texture and flavor I think. However I think the quality is fine for what it is. I plan to use these raspberries in my herbal tea blends. To see what it tasted like, I popped a raspberry right into the lemon verbena tea I was drinking, and it added a wonderful, subtle fruity flavor to it. You should try it, especially if you don't love eating the raspberries the way they are. 4Packaging was fine. The blueberries actually taste greatThis is the first time for me trying the Natierra Nature's All Foods Freese=Dried Blueberries. Shipping was prompt. Packaging was fine. The blueberries actually taste great. I love freeze dried fruit, and dried fruit. The only, only drawback is the staining. I originally started eating with my fingers, which then stained blue. My lips stained blue, and then my teeth. Hard to get off. I really liked this product. So, I bent the bag and continued to eat..just dumping them in my mouth. I would consider ordering this product again because of the taste, and nutrition. Just be alert of the staining factor and take measures to counteract the residue. 4Great for flavoring cream filingsI ordered these to flavor the filling of my chocolate log roll. The recipe I used called for these, as using fresh or frozen berries will make the filling turn out runny. The flavor was amazing, as good as fresh. The log was a hit at Christmas dinner, with a ganache covering and fresh raspberries for garnish. I used the leftovers to make a second cake, with raspberry filling. So delicious. 5Expired 2 Months Before DeliveryOrdered these several times over the past two months, and both times the product delivered was past it's "best by" date by at least 2 months. The most recent order was placed in the beginning of September, 2019 and the expiration date was listed as July, 2019. An order placed in August expired in April.Given that the product is freeze-dried fruit, they probably last longer than their marked expiration date, and there was no noticeable problem in taste (it was only after we'd eaten a bag that we noticed they were expired), but you have to assume that there is an expiration date on the package for a reason, and furthermore Amazon should not be selling expired food.Use caution when purchasing this or any product from Natierra on Amazon (this happened with the Strawberries, Raspberries, and Mango). Excellent product overall, but maybe find a fresher source. 1Ethically Yummmmm-y... But With Some Labeling GlitchesI ordered these to have a non-perishable, healthy snack for kayaking days... and because I love the light crunch of freeze-dried fruit. Bananas (along with chocolate, coffee, tea, cotton and others) are something where organic and fair-trade make a huge difference for the environment and for the workers farming them, so I was thrilled to find these. Notes on Their Labeling: I don t see anything on the label that indicates it contains potassium, but in researching it does not appear that freeze-drying destroys that, so I don t know if it s just an oversight. Seems from some other reviews there may sometimes be labeling issues with this company s products (like the calories per serving don't line up with the calories or serving size on my fitness tracking app, the package says gluten-free but fine print says produced in a facility that processes wheat, so not sure if they guarantee no cross-contamination for those with severe allergies). My first order from them had packaging that stated it was fair-trade. The second implied it on the back but didn't state it. Anyway, it appears to be an ethically produced product, they were tasty with nice texture, and the bags I got had a generous amount in them, so 5 stars for my needs. 5which is why these dried bananas were so great - she liked eating them and they were just ...Upset! My corn allergic daughter cannot have foods with specific preservatives in them, which is why these dried bananas were so great - she liked eating them and they were just bananas. First time ordering them from Amazon, pictures show bananas only as the ingredient, yet packages received say bananas and CITRIC ACID. No. Not only can she not have these now, the were improperly advertised. 1Nicely tart & delicious!These are delicious. They are somewhat tart, which is how I like my raspberries. The bag is full with unbroken berries, not too many crumbles in the bottom of the bag. I actually bought these to crumble & add to my melted 60% dark chocolate (Ghirardelli baking chips) to make chocolate candy. I have been adding craisins with nuts to the melted chocolate. The craisins have too high a sugar content. I drop the melted chocolate mixture in quarter sized pieces onto a wax paper covered cookie sheet. I then place in the frig to harden. I then store the chocolate pieces in a bag in the frig because it won't re-harden at room temp after melting. This makes a much cheaper version & better tasting chocolate candy piece than store bought Dove. I can vary the add-in nut options, coconut pieces, dried fruit, etc. I also find that I won't sit & eat the entire bag as I know I will have to go to the trouble of making another batch. This keeps me from binge eating chocolate which is my weakness. I can't wait to add these to my next batch of chocolate candy, if I can keep from eating them before I make the candy! 5Surprisingly GoodI ran this product listing through Fakespot just to see what their automated system made of the reviews, and interestingly enough it gave them an F for for the quality of reviews on the product and the possibility of review manipulation. I'm glad I decided to take the risk and order them anyway, because they're pretty good. I've eaten a back and a half thus far, and have rather enjoyed them.One interesting note: I received white bags that had citric acid on the ingredients list in addition to the freeze dried bananas. You don't really taste the citric acid, so it's not a big deal. 5They USED to be great, then they were "new and improved"The first time I bought these (the mangos), they were cut like skinny french fries and were really good, so I re-ordered 2 more bags. This time I got the new packaging, and also a new cut on the fruit itself. Now they are mostly tiny slivers and hard and sharp enough to cut your gums. Why do corporations have to "new and improve" their product until it is no longer any good? You saved money? But you lost a customer. 2Never again...I have had other freeze dried pineapple and loved it. But this product is horrible in comparison. The pieces are NOT light and fresh, but too hard and not very tasty. Tried them upon arrival and was immediately disappointed. Oh, and there was a terrible aftertaste that seemed like a bitter, acid, bite. In fact, it left the side of my tongue sore. It is day 3 and my tongue has yet to recover completely! 1
