Trader Joe's makes a range of freeze-dried snacks from fruits like strawberries and apples and its newest offering takes the form of the 'Freeze Dried Red Seedless Grape Slices.' Commonly, grape snacks that are sold in stores are sweetened but these ones are free of sugar, added sulfur and are not exposed to high temperatures in the drying process. The healthy grape snacks are prepared from fresh California and Chilean grapes in a resealable pouch for convenient on-the-go snacking.
Like any dried fruit snack, the Trader Joe’s Freeze Dried Red Seedless Grape Slices have the potential to be enjoyed as a standalone snack or added to cereals, trail mixes or even ice cream for added texture.
