Home Grown All American Dried Fruit Blend - Peaches, Sweetened Cranberries, Golden Raisins, Sweetened Blueberries, Apples - Non GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan, Healthy Real Fruit Snack in Resealable Pouch (2 lbs)

Very fresh and not dried out, colorful, tasty. I like to add a couple spoonfuls to an instant oatmeal packet at work, or add them to various baked goods like oatmeal cookies, bran muffins, etc. I was concerned about people reporting that they got less than 5 lbs and will have to weigh my next order to be sure. I used to buy Del Monte or Dole Dried Fruit Bits at the grocery store but I haven't seen them in a long time. Keeping some at the office and some at home (in an airtight container) is helping me to get my 5 to 9 a Day! (fruit and veg). I subscribe to a 5 lb box on Subscribe and Save, 1 every 6 months.

Versatile chipped fruits are perfect to add to hot cereals, as a snack mix, or baking element. Very tasty and so convenient to have on hand. Not drowned in sugar, but full of natural sweetness. Retains color and taste of the fruits.

- The "Traina Home Grown All American Sun Dried Fruit Blend" product arrived intelligently packed: No extra packaging for the 5 lbs of dried, diced fruit mix other than the external cardboard shipping box and the sanitary plastic bag holding the fruit medley. - 5 lbs of the dried fruit amounts to 11 pints (2 cups per pint) of dried fruit medley. - After careful examination of 1/4 cup of the fruit medley, I determined that the composition was as advertised, for at least my shipment: The order of ingredients listed appeared accurate for the medley composition (i.e., not overloaded on raisins--which would still be just fine if tipped towards raisins--betting most of us could use more them). - I eat the medley straight from the 11 pint jars in which I store the 5 lbs. of mix. I taste the individual flavors on the palette just fine. I love that I don't have to go to different jars of separate dried fruit products. The mix/medley is well-constructed. - I rarely purchase dried fruits that have added sugar. Only because I have a trusted friend that both assured me and provided a small sample of the medley did I proceed to purchase. The sugar just barely registers on the palette. That said, I would be quite certain that I would purchase the medley, ongoing, without sugar added. Without sugar would be my preference. Maybe offer both versions? But the current sugar level is minimal. - I keep a pint jar of the Traina dried fruit medley on my kitchen counter, my office cube and my backpack. I'm training myself to use the medley as my go-to snack; this hasn't been hard.

I don't find this mix to be well balanced for flavor. It is very sweet. I have been using it in oatmeal. I make my oatmeal and a rice cooker and wait until it is cooked before I put a handful of fruit mixture on the top and let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften but not long enough to cook the fruit mixture. I used this with small sourdough bread cubes to make the stuffing for some pork chops the other night and the flavors blended very well.

So yummy!!! Made home granola.

Product’s okay. Packaging is horrid. I won’t purchase again.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS MIX!!! I've had a variety of dried fruit mixes in my lifetime and this might be my favorite! I've been around a while so it's hard to be sure but right now, YES it's my favorite :D I like the variety and the balance of variety. Sometimes you get a mix that clearly has mostly the "filler" fruit. There's an even mix of each in this. It's not doused in whatever stuff they douse many fruit mixes in. It's JUST dried fruit. Well ok I just had to go look at the ingredients and I see sugar, sunflower oil, and Sulfur dioxide. You can't tell so it's "just enough" which I imagine keeps em from rotting. I actually had to go look to see if there was anything else added beyond JUST fruit which says somethin as is ;) They're not over dry/over moist, just the right amount of dryness. Throw em in a bit of water in say some oatmeal and they soak it up fast and soften pretty quick. The "El Dente" of dried fruit <3 I keep the fruit in a pourable "air tight" (so far no food container seems truly air tight, more like "draft proof") cereal container. I mostly use it in my oatmeal which is oats, plant protein (I eat meat but I prefer a plant based protein powder), these amazing fruits, and some cinnamon/sugar. Add water and good to go! (No heating at all). I occasionally feel like eating a handful of dried fruits as a snack too. Big shocker :D I just pour some out of the container, close, eat, and good to go! The amount the 5lbs box offers will fill a typical cereal container full and you'll have a few handfuls left over. That left over bit only lasted a few days so no need for an extra container in my case so the 5lbs is a perfect size and a very respectable price <3 I'm very thankful for this mix and will probably settle with this after the various other mixes I've gotten throughout my life and even on Amazon. I'm very satisfied and I've found what I like so I'm gonna stick with this :) <3

Tasty dried fruit mix. Great by itself or added to your favorite fruitcake or baked goods.
