The dieter who couldn't eat a whole package in a day must have been eating these tasty little gems one by one, with a break inbetween each bite. Not my family. We would each take a handful for a snack, and before we knew it, the bag was empty.

But enough about the bag. These things are tasty and provide a concentrated strawberry punch of flavor which makes "strawberry flavored" items taste lame. With these, you get the whole range of flavors in a strawberry, sweet without being too sweet, and none of the acidic taste that you sometimes get in an underripe berry. The dried fruit is very crunchy, without any of the gumminess that shows the manufacturer removed them from the dehydrator too early.

My only beef is the price, although I understand why they are so expensive. When I dried fruit, it took many pints of cleaned, stemmed and sliced berries to come up with a respectable amount of food. My family was always finished with one batch long before the next before the next was ready. When I consider the effort involved, these snacks are probably underpriced. But it still hurts to see an expensive packet gone before the commercials are over!

I use freeze dried strawberries to make Strawberries Romanov candy and these are the best ones I have ever used. They are all uniform quality and taste wonderful.

We LOVE the strawberry Crunchies!!! You can eat the whole entire big bag for less than 100 calories.......that is crazy!! And they are the best tasting things! Just don't eat some, then leave your slightly opened bag in the car for a day (like I did ) ....the humidity zapped them and they turned into "Soggies" instead. But we usually clean out a bag in no time, so no worries! We like the Mixed Berry alot....and the Veggies are good, too!!!!!!! I add them to recipes, like soup and cornbread. YUMMMMMMM

I love to snack on freeze dried strawberries but find it hard to find a small package for sale, usually they're sold in large cans. These were really crunchy and melt in your mouth when you first open the package. I couldn't eat one whole package in one day. If you don't eat them all in one day - they tend to loose some of their crunch and go slightly chewy, but this is to be expected and not a sign of a bad product. Even chewy, they're still good.

I am not new to dehydrated strawberries since I have been eating the "Just Tomatoes" brand that comes in the plastic canisters for years. Amazon was out of them so I ordered these instead.

The bag poses a problem for me because the strawberries are packed above the the resealable part so that when I opened the bag where it says "tear here" strawberry powder and small pieces spilled out. I only wanted a few of them so resealing it without crumbling the berries on top was difficult since the resealable part, as I mentioned, is below the level where they are in the bag.

The strawberries taste good and have a nice texture, but I noticed that compared to the "Just Tomatoes" brand they aren't as red which makes me think they are using less ripe berries or maybe they lost some of the color in the processing. It also seems like there are more "crumbs" maybe because the plastic bag doesn't protect them from breakage.

Overall good berries but when amazon is back in stock of the other brand I will buy them instead.

If you like strawberries you'll love Crunchies! Only 98 calories per pouch - I snacked on one pouch all day and didn't finish it off! Very convenient- resealable. I have other varieties on order!

I wanted to like these and was excited to get them at a good price here. My boys liked them, but one whole package from the variety box wasn't enough for them. There was about enough larger chunks to fit in my palm, the rest was tiny crumbs and powder. Very disappointing and I won't be buying it again. Trader Joe's has some options that go farther for less money.

Crunchies are great! We use them in cereal, yogurt, on ice cream, in pancakes, muffins and right out of the package. They are made in a way that keeps all the nutrients in, with no added sugar!

I bought these after seeing how much everyone in the family loved the strawberries in the Special K Red Berries cereal. Buying them in the smaller packages seems to help them stay crisp.

Lots of them were very tart, hence the 4 stars. I'm sure it has to do with how ripe and sweet the strawberry they started with was, so it varies between packages.

They make a great, healthy snack.

I've bought many packs of various types of the Crunchies brand dried fruit and they are all excelent in my oppinion. This type of Crunchies is quite 'crunchy' and I like to sprinkle these on my brakefast cereal in the mornings. Plan to buy more of these delicious Crunchies brand snacks in the future!
