Simple Truth Freeze-Dried Strawberries & Bananas
What it is
This product consists of freeze-dried pieces of ripe strawberries and bananas. The freeze-drying process removes water content while preserving the fruit's natural flavor and aroma. The pieces are light and airy, offering a satisfying crunch. They are a convenient way to enjoy the taste of fresh fruit without refrigeration. The combination provides a sweet and slightly tart flavor profile.
How people cook with it
These freeze-dried fruit pieces are versatile and can be incorporated into various dishes and snacks.
- Topping for yogurt
- Mix-in for cereal
- Snack on their own
- Ingredient in baked goods
Simply open the package and enjoy the fruit pieces directly as a snack. They can be added to breakfast bowls, such as yogurt or oatmeal, for added flavor and texture. For baking, they can be incorporated into muffins, cookies, or bread recipes. When used in baking, they rehydrate slightly from the moisture in the batter, contributing a chewy texture and concentrated fruit flavor. They are also a great addition to trail mixes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh fruit, freeze-dried fruit does not require refrigeration and has a much longer shelf life. It also retains a crisp texture that is distinct from dried fruit, which is typically chewy. The flavor is often more concentrated than fresh fruit due to the removal of water.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect the texture. Proper storage will help maintain the crispness and flavor of the fruit pieces for an extended period.
