The brothers — brothersallnatural.com is mum on the exact number of brothers or if, in fact, there are any brothers at all (could be a side gig for the Keebler elves) — have hit upon a unique strategy: take sweet, juicy, apples, Asian pears, bananas, pineapples and strawberries, and suck all the juicy and most of the sweet out of them. They call it freeze drying. I can't repeat what I call it, just in case there are impressionable young minds reading this.
Sadly, though the freeze dried fruits are all natural and have no added anything, they don't have the fiber that the cardboardy texture might lead you to believe is in them. In fact, they have very little of anything, including taste.
In the interest of science, we attempted to reconstitute some of the bananas and strawberries after popping a few dried ones in our mouths. The results were soggier, but no more flavorful.
The company's motto is "The Healthy Snack... the one Mother Nature would eat." If Nother Nature is a non cannibal, and thus wouldn't eat her own fresh fruits and vegetables, I suppose that's true. (What would Mother Nature eat, anyway? Those of a certain age are pretty sure she doesn't eat margarine.)
One daughter and I were at a festival yesterday, and received free packages of the pineapple, pear, apple, banana and strawberry products, So far we've tried three, and I defy you to sample one with your eyes closed and tell me which one it is.
According to the website, the company does the same things to potatoes that it does to innocent fruits. The potato chips, or crisps, or whatever they are, are said to be gluten free, nut free, dairy free, soy free and fat free. If only they weren't taste free as well.
