Trader Joe's is expanding its lineup of fruit snacks with the debut of new Freeze Dried Raspberries.
Trader Joe’s Freeze Dried Raspberries are made by taking ripe raspberries, freezing them, and then lowering the atmospheric pressure around the fruit to near-vacuum levels. Next, the berries are heated, which allows the frozen water in the berries to evaporate. The result is a dried raspberry that still contains all the super sweet and tart flavor, but without any of the liquid. This makes the Freeze Dried Raspberries the perfect addition to all kinds of snacks and meals, including trail mix, a bowl of creamy yogurt, or mixed into brownie batter.
Trader Joe's new unsweetened and unsuphered Freeze Dried Raspberries are available now in 1.2-ounce pouches from retailers nationwide.
