[faithb87]

These are so yummy but be careful not to over eat them...they will expand in your tummy. ;)

Yum! Looks great!

[swing7654]

These look amazingly good. They would be great in cereal!

[lizzie4275]

How great! I love strawberries and I crave them during the winter. Now I can have them all the time. :)

Looks yummy!

strawberries are my fav. and i would love to have them accessable for a long period of time.

I love having these around the house! Whenever I get the munchies I just pull out this healthy snack and I don't feel guilty!

My son eats these like Candy, I guess it is better that he will these instead of candy or sugary sweet

[theautumngal]

Can you put these in jello? I've tried dried fruit in a jello dish and it was really gross. How would these strawberries do?

[NatalieShelfReliance]

Great question Autumngal!

I think if rehydrated these, and any of our fruits would work great in jello. I've been developing a recipe using gelatine sheets, so look for that video to come in the future and then you'll know for sure if it worked! But I don't see why these wouldn't be perfect in jello.

Thanks again and hope that helps,

Natalie

kfrost1196: Yeah, all the fruit you find in cereals (like Blueberry Morning or Special K) is freeze dried fruit. This is the same stuff.

[shackattack6]

Wow - those strawberries do look good. I can't believe they come back like that after soaking in water. Yum!

[heapingfulofmango]

I had a sample of these once, not really to my liking..

[kfrost1196]

Are these like the kind if strawberries that come in Special K cereal? I'd love to use them with my granola or something.

[NatalieShelfReliance]

Thanks for the question kfrost1196,

Yes, these are the same / similar to freeze-dried fruit found in cereals. They look exactly the same to me as the Special K strawberries. I'm amazed at how much there is to do with them beyond using them in cereal, but I must admit how much I do love them that way too or even just plain.

Thanks again!

Amazing right out of the can - no joke

[saraavech]

So pretty, so crisp. Perfect in trail mix. If you're going to bake with them, just go easy on how much water or juice you use to rehydrate them. I used WAY too much once, and yuck! Watery, strawberry-y mess. =) Just use a little and mix the strawberries through. You'll be good to go.

I love these Strawberries! I have them every morning with my cereal.
