1.0 out of 5 stars Bare Fruit cherries review- long delay, moderate taste, unsafe pits, January 13, 2008

By 

Fruit Lover (Michigan) - See all my reviews

I purchase the multi-pack of small (individual serving) dried cherries, but those are no longer listed, but this is the same product from the same company in a different size.

1. I received my order /months/ after my Amazon order (there was an interim point at which Amazon emailed me to see if I wanted to cancel the order). Amazon did not show out-of-stock at the time of order, so buyer beware.

2. As other raters have mentioned, the taste is moderate, although the longer you chew them, the more you can taste a subtle cherry flavor. The flavor isn't as strong as I expected, but I like variety, so this point alone wouldn't have stopped me from buying

3. These have pits! I find at least 1-2 in every bag. In addition, I find another several cherries with "crunchy bits" which I suspect are remnants from pits that have chipped or broken during the de-pitting process. I've ended up eating these from the bag (very carefully), because they aren't safe enough to cook in muffins or breads (one of my original goals), because then you wouldn't be able to see when you are biting into one and the chance of dental damage would be even higher.

I have ordered other dried fruit from Bare Fruit, and enjoyed them very much (apples, mango, etc.) but I cannot recommend their cherries. I hope my review saves someone a chipped tooth.

2.0 out of 5 stars Think 'Raisin' without the sweetness, September 6, 2007

By 

Toni Anderson "tonistreasurechest" (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

Weren't exactly what I was expecting - they are very dry, tough and a good portion still HAVE THE PITS INSIDE!! A person could easily choke or brake a tooth on a pit (or on the tough, dry texture of the fruit). They have little to no flavor and taste like a bad raisin (no cherry flavor what so ever). I was hoping for more of a dehydrated type fruit that still had a little moisture and flavor left in it - no such luck. However my husband doesn't mind eating them once in a while which is why I gave them two stars instead of one. There are many other organic products out there that are delicious, so please don't let this review discourage you from trying other natural and/or organic products.

This review is from: Bare Fruit 100% Organic Bake-Dried Cherries, 16-Ounce Bags (Pack of 2) (Grocery)

I wanted organic bing cherries to eat out of the bag. These hit the spot for me. If I wanted safe and artificially sweetened cherries, I would have gone the commercially grown route. I got what I expected and I enjoyed them and will continue to re-order them. As far as I'm concerned they could leave the pits in them. I'm careful about eating any natural or organic product and look for minimally processed products as a plus not a minus.
