We’ve extended the giveaway! See below for details!
I love fruit. Love everything about fruit – the taste, the sweetness, the nutrition. The only thing I don’t love about fruit is the mess. Sometimes, I pack a fruit choice and by lunch time, it’s smooshed into an unrecognizable blob. I was delighted to receive four fruit choices from the new line of Today’s Farm dried fruit. I was sent pineapple, strawberry, apple cinnamon and peach. I can honestly say I’m now an addict. Two empty bags in one sitting is my proof. With the tag line, “Freeze dried crunchy fruit – Nothing like it,” this snack certainly made an impression on me.
Continue reading Carmen’s review and get the details on a Today’s Fruit giveaway and discount!
Often, I find myself craving a crunch. (Most often, it comes in the form of a tortilla chip craving, but let’s not go there, shall we?) These fruit crisps fill the void beautifully. Dried fruits can often have added sugars and oils, and can be as bad for you as candy. Not these choices. Flash-freeze dried to remove the water, the fruit is kept free of bacteria and contaminants without the addition of any preservatives. Today’s Farm fruit crisps are sold in individual bags about the size of a potato chip bag, perfect for tossing in a lunch box or hiding in the bottom of a gym bag for an after workout treat. One bag is equal to between one and three servings of fresh fruit, depending upon the fruit you choose. They are free of fat, sodium, cholesterol and chock full of fiber.
Nutritional content will vary by flavor, but here are a few key numbers that we’re pretty impressed with.
- Peach = 90 calories, 0g fat
- Strawberry = 45 calories, 0g fat
- Apple Cinnamon = 85 calories, 0g fat
- Pineapple = 80 calories, .5g fat
Delicious on their own and beyond amazing mixed in with vanilla yogurt or oatmeal, these are a super tasty, nutritious and healthful snack that I’ll be buying again and again. Sold exclusively online for now at Today’s Farms, you’ll receive an exclusive 10% discount on your next Internet order (use coupon code DIR, expires 9/30/09).
We’re also giving away 10 Today’s Farms Bag O Gold (value $10), a bag stuffed with each of their four delightful flavors. Just leave a comment below, by 7/24/09, telling us what your favorite fruit is.
Yummy, nutritious and easy to eat on the go – can’t get any better than that!

Peach, definitely. But I probably wouldn't get any, because DH's beloved grandma used to put up a freezer full of peaches every summer. He would eat an entire jar at a sitting. Even today, the taste of a peach makes him smile, and remember this wonderful woman.

I'm pretty seasonal in my fruit favorites - right now it is fresh cherries. I get a heritage cherry locally that is unbelievably packed with flavor.

Peach sounds great! I always miss the flavor when the fruit is out of season, maybe this is the answer?

I love the strawberry, because the season is so short for strawberries and I find myself missing them the rest of the year. These fill the gap, and very tastily, too!

We do not discriminate against any fruit in our house, but strawberries are probably our favorite.

Yum! The peach sounds best to me but, in general, my favorite fruits are melons, especially cantaloupe.
