Freeze-dried Banana

The flavor of these freeze dried mango pieces is amazing. It has the flavor of a perfectly ripe mango. I do prefer my mangoes chewy over crunchy like these; however, this is a whole lot more convenient than slicing up your own mango. It also taste more true-to-flavor of a fresh mango than dried mango does. It also says you can use them in smoothies which I think is a great idea! I am very happy with this product and would recommend it.

It’s high on price to me for how much you get but it’s not bad quality you won’t be disappointed in fresh mango smell when you pop it open. Though they are hard to eat I’m not sure if they got air in them as they are some of the hardest dried fruits that my kids didn’t like them. Which won’t work for my trail mix so hope be good crushed for some sugar mango cookies. Be a good natural replacement to adding sugar in baking which is good for me and my family who have to watch it.

They taste a bit bitter and burnt and that's all because the pit skin is still left in the fruit. It should have been cut out and that would make the fruit taste sweeter.

These are exactly how I thought they would be, the sweet pineapple taste you expect with a fun new texture. Completely dry and crunchy these are really fun to eat and perfect for travel. Now I want to try the Durian.

This review is for the Darlac Farms freeze dried durian bites. I hope if you are trying these, you are either familiar with durian’s taste or you are open minded. The durian bites capture the unique taste of durian (which I like) without too much of the smell. The freeze-dried texture was crunchy and fresh tasting; the pieces were not tough, dry, or old. They did taste like they were processed at their freshest, and you are left with the convenience of a snack at any time without having to process or keep fresh durian around. I liked that there were three individual packets inside the larger resealable package, and each smaller one is a very reasonable 90 calories.Durian can be hard to find, so this allows you to have easier access to good-tasting durian with an appealing texture. Give it a try. I find it to be like a mixture of sweetness and savoriness, and it’s certainly a unique fruit.

I spent some time in Malaysia as a kid and vividly remember durian. It was oh so stinky but had a decent flavor. Seeing a freeze dried version brought up some good memories and I'm happy to say it didn't disappoint. I shared a pack on a camping trip with my dad and we both enjoyed it. Not as stinky as the normal fruit, flavor is pretty close though.

I've never been fond of traditional banana chips. They are far too sweet and the calorie count is sky high. I love bananas, though, so I was thrilled to try freeze dried banana chips. I like other freeze dried fruits (mango, pineapple, and apple), so I thought these were promising. They exceeded my hopes. They are puffy and crunchy and then break down into creamy banana yumminess. They even have the mouth feel of a banana. They are so good. They are still kind of fattening, so portion them out ahead of time.At $13.99 (per the date of this review), the price is a little high for a regular little snack, but these are definitely worth it for those once a week special ones.

Oh, wow, it's hard to give this a rating. There are individual packets within the larger bag. It seems fresh, it's organic and it's crunchy. So, I have to give stars for that. If you like durian, you will like this. If you've never had it, be prepared. I know this is known for being smelly, and this is not. But the taste....first time tasting durian....and last. I had to run to the kitchen, remove it and put something else in my mouth to change the taste. Awful.
