Crispy Greens Crispy Fruit
Review by Sophia Pflieger

When I received the package for "Crispy Greens" Crispy Fruit, I was very intrigued to say the least. The box weighed next to nothing for having so much in it, and I had never eaten anything freeze dried before.
They make 5 kinds: crispy pears, crispy pineapples, crispy apples, crispy peaches, and crispy apricots. My favourite was the crispy apples which was also the first flavour I tried. I discovered that there are two main ways to experience crispy fruit. Eat it like a chip by chewing it quickly and it keeps most of its crispness, or let it get soft and rehydrate in your mouth. Both equally tasty choices, these come in such small packs and are so light that they are perfect for stowing away in the glove compartment of your car. Eating as a late night tv-watching snack (they average at only 35 calories per little bag!).

I am a nanny to a 2 1/2 and a 2 year old, so I decided to bring some with me one day. I have never seen them go so crazy over something before. They loved it so much - talk about the perfect way to get more fruits into your kids! They think it's a treat when really its very healthy. But shhhhhh..... only the grown-ups need to know that! Think about what it would be like to give you child a pear in the car. The drippy, juicy mess that would make! Give them a bag of crispy pears instead. They taste like a pear and are a healthy fun snack minus the mess!

I think these would also be a perfect thing to pack while camping. They won't way you down, and will re-hydrate in water. I threw some crispy peaches into a bowl of cereal and soymilk, and they got nice and plump.

I urge everyone who has kids to run out and get these Crispy Greens Crispy Fruit. You won't regret it and your kids will think your the coolest parent ever!
