a few weeks ago shelf reliance had a great sale and all their freeze-dried fruits and vegetables were 25% off, so i bought one case of freeze-dried mandarin oranges and just one can of freeze-dried onions.
the oranges: they are kind of an odd texture (i have a weird thing about textures, so for it was a definite negative. they also have quite a kick to them and quite an after-taste. all in all, for us they were a thumbs down. i would say that we won't eat them, and not even my toddler will eat them. so that's a bummer, since i bought a whole case. but....
don't necessarily take just my word for it. a friend of mine bought a case as well and her and all 6 people in her family can't get enough of them! they love them! so i guess it's probably just a matter of taste. lucky for me - she's going to buy my case!
the onions: i am super super sensitive to onions - like my eyes will hurt for a good 48 hours after being in the same room as on onion, so i tend to just stay away. my poor, could-eat-an-onion-like-an-apple husband has resigned himself to onion powder in the jar and that's as good as it gets at our house, so i thought i'd give these a try. i love them! i've been using them to cook and they don't hurt my eyes at all, they taste just the same as the original and are a thousand times more convenient. i will definitely buy these again.
Thanks for the reviews. I always wonder about these products. It's great to hear a personal experience.
