Crunching on Crunchies

Posted on February 22, 2017 by foodgal 5 comments

Beets and nothing but beets.

You have to love a “processed” snack food that has only one ingredient in the bag. What a rarity, right?

Crunchies is exactly that — freeze-dried fruit and veggies that have nothing added to them. They’re non-GMO verified, gluten-free certified, vegan, kosher, halal, and contain no added sugar or artificial flavoring. The produce is picked, then frozen before being freeze-dried. leaving it dry, light as air and crunchy.

And they’re pretty darn delicious, too, as I found out when I had a chance to try some samples.

Fruit to Take Along Anywhere

(Front to back) Tangerine, cantaloupe and Asian pear — freeze-dried.

That’s exactly what Crispy Green is.

The New Jersey company takes fresh fruit and freeze dries them before packaging them in convenient pouches that you can throw in your purse or backpack or stash in a desk drawer or car glove box.

Crispy Green offers seven different fruits: apple, mango, Asian pears, banana, cantaloupe, pineapple and tangerine.

You have to love an ingredients label that includes only one thing. What’s in the freeze-dried Asian pears? Only Asian pears.
