How it differs from similar foods

Their flavor profile is often a concentrated, artificial fruit essence rather than the subtle taste of dried fruit.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining fruit snacks in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This will prevent them from drying out or becoming sticky.
