Our family have been shopping in health food shops since I was tiny - probably as a result of my Grandmother who loved all kinds of supplements and potions. As part of this we'd spend a lot of time in these shops as children - but were fortunately allowed to choose a snack to take home. Usually these were horrible - but the two safe options were the Hedgehog Crisps, and things made out of dried fruits. (Later on they also sold Kettle Chips!)
I spotted a display of Fruitfetti - and thought that it was some kind of eco-friendly confetti that was also bird food. While not far off - it's actually human food.
And the little tubs on the side suggested that the apple one was almost exactly like one of my favourite childhood snacks - freeze dried green apple chunks! And now it was a 50:50 mix with raspberry too which was a bonus. The tub shows an even mix.
The pack says it's an even mix.
The art says it's an even mix.
The bowl says it's 80% apple!
Now this isn't entirely unexpected - the raspberry is the expensive bit afterall - but I'd have expected it to be at least a little closer to 50%.
That said - the nostalgia is strong with this one, and as the apple was the main reason for trying these and the taste is spot on then I can't be too disappointed.
I think the price of £3 feels a little high - just eat a fresh apple was the response when we'd ask for these - but it's likely correct as these were always a luxury item. They last a lot longer as an adult, as we used to pour them into our mouths like popping candy!
I shall try all the flavours out of journalistic responsibility and report back, especially as one has blueberries.
Probably not one to give to small children these days, but for me a nice little flavour boost while out and about.
