I can tell by the packaging that this product was geared for kids, and it makes for a completely trustworthy snack. But I have to say that I loved it too! I'm currently on a kick to eliminate refined sugar from my diet, and it's been a challenge. But products like this one make it doable.

Bear in mind that this isn't just dried fruit, it's freeze-dried...devoid of moisture. That may sound unappealing, but it's really good--the texture is crunchy, and you can soak it in your mouth for really long flavor. There's no added sugar in this, but it's really sweet on its own. I use it for dessert or whenever I need a sweet fix.

My little guy loves these snacks. I like that they are healthy, relatively mess-free (as much as anything can be with toddlers), and easy to take along anywhere.

This is delicious and my kids love it. As far as I can tell, it's actually dried pineapple with guava dusted on it, rather than chunks of guava, as other reviewers have described. Perfect lunchbox snack when the kids want something sweet and I want them to have something healthy!

Our family loves dried fruit as a healthy snack, but the Pink Pineapple flavor of Funky Monkey is beyond a doubt the best we've had. My 3 and 5 year old children and I eat it regularly. It makes a healthy dessert substitute, a delicious after-school snack, and a simple way to pack a serving or two of fruit in a school lunch box.

The pink pineapple product is made of freeze-dried, organic pineapple. A light powdering of guava paste gives it a subtle pink color and guava taste. This freeze-dried fruit is very crunchy, and I've noted that it stays crunchy with the package open much longer than other freeze-dried fruit products that seem to absorb moisture from the air quickly and turn spongey. Ew!

The .42 ounce size is a perfect size to put in a child's lunch box and delivers a full serving of fruit and 40% of your Vitamin C for the day. The 1 ounce size makes a reasonable snack for an adult, shared between two children, or for one hungry after-schooler. You will be surprised how quickly 12 packs of this versatile snack will be used.

Pink Pineapple Funky Monkey packages contain full servings of fruit, are gluten free, fat free, vegan, raw, all natural, 95% organic, and have no added sugar, color, flavors, or preservatives, . What's not to like?!

I had high expectations - 50% pineapple 50% guava
Turned out it is 100% pineapple 0% guava
I could not find even a single piece of freeze dried guava in 4 packets i finished.

The freeze dried pineapples get 5 stars and the product is overall satisfying, though you will finish a featherweight packet in seconds and then have to resist the urge to open the next packet to fill a void. Since the company deceived me you get 1 star.
