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.

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.
