Solely earns strong reviews for tasting like real fruit and delivering clean, minimal-ingredient snacks that many find delicious—especially the mango, pineapple, and dark-chocolate fruit pairings—yet opinions split on texture and flavor intensity. Reviewers praise the soft, juicy “fruit jerky” and satisfying gummies, but note tooth-sticking chew, occasional fiber/pulp toughness, indistinct flavors like Mango & Guava, and some find the gummies not gummy-like enough.
Solely organic pineapple fruit jerky is exactly what it says: a jerky and contains literally just one thing: pineapple! If you don’t like the texture of dried fruit, then this is not for you. - They are easy to take on the go and to add to a lunchbox.
I tried the fruit jerky, hoping that it would be an easy packable snack. While the flavors were great, I didn’t enjoy the texture. You definitely get the mouth feel of the fruit fibers/bits, which I didn’t find appealing.
I used to regularly buy the Organic Mango Whole Fruit Gummies for travel because they contained Vitamin C and were easy to take on the go in the convenient little pouches. I guess they switched to just dried mango but there's no Vitamin C anymore and a limited nutrition panel so I don't buy them anymore.
At first I was hesitant to try Solely. I found it interesting for it to be called a "fruit jerky", which I instantly connected with beef jerky - which I despised. Of course, fruit will taste different, and I must say it is 10x better than my expectations. The three in my photo: Pineapple Coconut, Mango Blueberry and Mango Guava, must be the best of the bunch. No fruit overpowers another and the macro's are great! This is a great on-the-go snack, and is thin to fit into a tiny purse. I am excited to try more from this company and would definitely recommend!
