Love their apple chips, yes they're expensive but totally worth it. Perfect for my mindless snacking habit lol 

Some of the snacks are really, really good! The kiwis, apples, starwberries, etc. are simply amazing. Love the simple ingredients and the idea of cutting down on food waste by cutting up and freeze drying produce that might not otherwise be sold.

Some of the snacks aren't for me. The actual dried orange rinds taste so bitter that I have to peel them off. I also wasn't a fan of the watermelon, the seeds in the dried product created a texture issue for me. I want to like all of their products, I just have to pass on those two, personally.

My only other knock is how expensive they are. I would absolutely stock up if they were more affordable, but instead I buy them as the occasional treat. They're quality products and well worth the money, just slightly out of budget for bulk purchases on a regular basis. 

I tried the tropical fruit mix. I like the concept of this however the rinds were super bitter; next time I would try another flavor. 

I have mostly overall liked the snacks from this brand. The straw-peary and peach snacks have been great. The coconut crisps have been okay, but the tropical bag was so gross to me. I do support the brand's mission of upcycling.

I *really* wanted to love this product, but try as I might there was just nothing special about them. They tasted like any of the many non-sweetened, dried fruit snacks I have tried in the past. Not bad, but nothing special, even with the peels (one of their selling points) included. The Orchard blend had an interesting mix of fruits—persimmon, peach, and apple—though nothing stood out as particularly flavorful. The packaging was also a bit all over the place: every inch had some message about how good the product is and how the company gives back to schools—it even included a sentence describing the origin of the word persimmon! Wish they had put that much energy into making the product itself more flavorful.

I like the chewy texture with some moist, better than the regular dried fruit snacks. Good flavor and great pairing of strawberry and pear fruits. Good snack, either on-the-go or at-home.

YUMMMM! This bag of Piña Colada Rind was so good. It’s the perfect snack of sweet, crunchy and chewy. I’m thinking of mixing a bag of this with a bag of Lesser Evil Piña Colada Popcorn for some seriously good snacking at my next game night! 

Would love to see mango and more chip options! 

One of my favorite guilt free snacks. Love all the different fruits and blends. Such an easy snack to bring on-the-go and snack on through out the day. Perfect for my charcuterie boards too! 

The fact that the brand keeps the peel on and uses fruits you don’t generally see in the dried fruit section at the grocery store makes it feel like an elevated experience.

It’s delicious and I don’t feel like I’m effectively eating candy like I do with most dried fruit.

The skin can add a bitter taste, such with oranges, but I enjoy it and it makes me feel like an adult. Adults like bitter things.

The Coco-melon flavor was a little gross to me. Dried watermelon is almost a little too leathery for mew, I think because watermelon has so much moisture in it to start. 

So good! I really like their Straw-perry flavor. 

Really liked RIND. Grew up in a household hyper focused on the environment, and RIND's solution to help combat food waste is something I can get behind! Not a snack that I would eat day after day after day, but I like it every now and then and I can feel good about eating it.

Love this brand's mission, but did not love the texture of these! I found them really difficult to chew, so it wasn't a super pleasant experience just eating them out of the bag. I ended up chopping up the fruit and using it in a granola. The flavor is tasty, but the texture is a miss for me.

It's ok! From the packaging, I expected it to be more similar to freeze dried fruit with a crispy texture, but these are soft and leathery and more on the chewy side. I think I prefer the texture of freeze dried strawberries more. 

I just discovered this fruit snack. I love that it’s just fruit and contrary to other comments about the texture, I love that it’s moist and chewy. I prefer this over freeze dried fruits. I’ve only tried the berry and apple mixture so far. 

I really wanted to like these, but they were ultimately just really “ok.” Not the best, not the worst, just somewhere kinda mediocre in between.

I picked up the orchard one because I saw it had persimmons (I love dried persimmons and they're hard to find anywhere), but the taste wasn't really what I was hoping for. Unlike the usual dried fruits, the texture of these is very chewy, but maybe a bit too chewy since I got annoyed at how long it was taking to chew the apple which was basically flavorless. Overall, they're alright. 

It's taken me a while to track down each of the different flavors of RIND. But I finally did! I absolutely love the strawberry pear one! I literally ate it in one sitting and continue to get this flavor whenever I see it. For the other flavors, I wasn't really the biggest fan. But I thought it was very cool that there were so many different fruits that they offered!
