You’ve probably seen the strawberries in Special K cereal and this product is very much like those. In most cases, the strawberries and blueberries found in dry cereals are freeze dried. They are a crisp, crunchy and flavorful treat. They contain all the nutritional values of fresh strawberries with no added sugar or preservatives. They make a great snack to put in a backpack on the trail or in kids' lunches. While the bags don’t sound like they contain a lot of product, you have to remember that it takes about 12 ounces of fresh ripe strawberries to make 1.5 oz of freeze dried. You can add water to reconstitute the strawberries for recipes but you can also grind them up dry and use the resulting powder in your favorite smoothie. For best results, we recommend you keep the bag tightly sealed after opening and store the product out of direct sunlight.
