Reviews mention

  • Sustainable upcycling mission messaging
  • Chewy, satisfying fruit texture
  • Flavorful straw-peary standout blend
  • Zero-added-sugar ingredient integrity
  • Inconsistent flavor quality across lineup
  • Overly tough, leathery chew texture
  • Bitter orange peel notes
  • Watermelon’s unpleasant seedy texture

RIND Snacks earns mixed reviews: the brand delights many with chewy, peel-on dried fruit that feels wholesome and flavorful (standouts include Straw-Peary, Piña Colada Remix, and apple chips), yet quality varies by flavor and texture can skew leathery, tough, or bitter—especially with oranges, watermelon, and some tropical blends. Reviews praise the upcycling mission, fiber-rich ingredients, and variety, while calling out inconsistency, occasional blandness, and off-putting chew that some find nearly inedible.

  • I’m giving the brand 4 stars overall, but some of the products I absolutely love and some I’m not a fan of. The Pina Colada Remix flavor is sooo good, I could eat it every day. Easily one of my top ten snacks. The other remix flavors I have tried were also good. I did not like the dried peaches, the flavor seemed off to me. The “strawpeary” and apple chips are just ok. Not bad by anymeans but probably not worth the price.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I like the straw-peary flavor. Good source of fiber and a healthy, easy snack to substitute for chips or other sweets. The orange one is NOT pleasant tho lmao, do not recommend that one.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Provide more fruit flavors if possible.

  • 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!
