Why I love the freezer -dried fruit of the dollar tree
If you have bought freezer -dried fruits, you know that it is difficult to find and often incredibly expensive. This discovery of dollar tree was so worth it for my family that I will now make a trip to the shop to buy it one article – and to draw several packs while I’m there!
Every little bag is a treasury made of light, concentrated fruit taste that is packed in crispy, airy bite. The texture is incredibly satisfactory – first crispy and then an intense fruity outbreak on your tongue.
They remind me of the happy charms of Marshmallows, which I sometimes ate as a child, but better (and better for them). The freeze drying process records and underlines the taste of the fruits so well that a little lines a long way. That is why the Mini bags are perfect for what we need.

How I use freezer -dried fruits
Freezing -dried fruits are more versatile than you may think.
My children cannot get enough of the strawberries that I add to the strawberry almond masters of our family. (The strawberries would work well in this cherry granola instead of cherries.)
It is fantastic crushed and mixed in a cake sugar, sprinkled into homemade chocolate or yoghur bark, stirred or used in oatmeal, muffin dough, protein balls or trail mix to improve a simple bowl of yogurt or ice cream.
You make a great lunch box or dessert only for yourself. And the next time you are on a plane or a long drive, you should consider it for your snack pack. You are the reward of all treats!
Note that some varieties have added sugar while others do not do this, and they also have a good amount of fiber. The most important thing is that they taste like sweets. Every fruit bites is fresh and bright and offers so much versatility and taste. For 1.25 US dollars you really can’t go wrong, especially with these strawberries!
