This snack blend is the best! I tried it on the recommendation of a friend, and have come to love it. It's perfect alone, but I enjoy putting the mix on salads. It definitely spices them up a bit, and the flavor is amazing. I have become a big fan of this product, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to add a little excitement to their everyday snacks.

I bought the variety pack and tried this flavor third (see my reviews for Socorro and Soledad). I buy natural snacks for my kids (freeze dried fruit etc with no added sugar), but I find them bland. So I ordered these and I love this flavor. In fact my 4 year old wanted to try and she liked it - it wasn't too spicy for her. They use black pepper which is flavorful, but I wouldn't call it spicy. The nuts are big and crunchy and the fruit is small and chewy. There is about equal of both nuts and fruit. Valdosta has 7 grams of sugar in a 1/4 cup serving.

I got a variety pack of Sahale mixes, and this was the only one i liked. The others just didn't work for me, though i only actively disliked one (sing buri, my coworkers all hated it too, though they gladly ate the other flavors i dismissed).

For the reviewer who said it was too peppery, either they're extremely sensitive to black pepper, they got a badly mixed bag, or by chance grabbed a bit that was more peppery than the rest and didn't explore further. I think the pepper is perfect, strong enough to give it a little kick and sting, but light enough that it's not the primary (or even secondary) flavor. There is some variability, though, and once in a while you'll get a mouth full of pepper.

While i gladly eat these for a snack at my desk at work, they are a must-have for long plane trips. The nuts make it filling, and the cranberries and glaze give it a nice sweet touch without being so sugary that i get the jitters trapped in a middle seat on hour 2 of a cross-country flight.

The ingredient list made for interresting reading. So much so that I almost left my first bag of these treats on the shelf. The kicker for me was that they did not contain any ingredients I am allergic to, so into my basket they went.

Once I tried them I became addicted. These are great right out of the bag. I also love them in a tossed green salad with crumbled bleu cheese and thinly sliced fresh pears.

I checked Costco yesterday for the Valdosta Blend, but they were out. They are currently offering another Sahale blend with almonds. I didn't buy it--I'll wait for the Valdosta to come in. I am not sure if Costco changes the Sahale snack selection seasonally or if they were just out-of-stock.

When we were vacationing in Texas, I bought another Sahale blend to sample. I wish I could remember the name of it. It wasn't as good and I would not go out of my way to buy it again. I will continue to buy the Valdosta Blend regularly though.

These mixes are very tasty as well as healthy. I'd rank Valdosta the number 1 variety. The price is high for just five ounces. My rating is based strictly on the product itself; not the price.

this is a perfect snack for a person who is on the go... I'm pregnant and I am addicted...yummmmmmm! The pecans have a wonderful glaze with a peppery finish and the cranberries are a sweet chewy compliment. DELICIOUS!

We have really enjoyed these unusual snacks! We first got the variety mix and they were all pretty good but this mix is off the chart! No need to put these in a resealable bag they just don't get that far! I keep thinking how good they would be added to a meal as garnish or a salad. We truly love them! Thanks Guys!

I have been buying these from Costco for years, but was told a few weeks ago that they were gone and not coming back in the foreseeable future. I hate it when Costco does that! Thank goodness for Amazon -- at least I can order from them! I don't think the ones I received are as fresh as the ones I used to get from Costco. The cranberries are pretty tough to chew. But they're still a tasty snack and indispensable on a salad of spring greens, blue cheese, apples or grapes, and drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

I have tried all of them and although Valdosta is my favorite for snacking, they have great recipes at their website for the others. There was one that mixes with cilantro to make a pesto that is fantastic. And they're not too spicy as my 2 year old daughter loves them too!

We were glad we were able to purchase this sanak from Amazon. It is difficult to find in stores. It is delicious and nutrious!
