The product features honeydew melon, mandarin oranges and banana that have been dried to give them a candy like flavor profile. The [dried fruit snack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/del-monte-fruit-snacks) is crafted with [upcycled fruit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climate-candy) that might otherwise go to waste to give it an eco-friendly edge, while also having a high-fiber profile that has nothing added to the recipe. The RIND Snacks ISLAND Blend fruit snack is a limited-edition offering that was only produced to 400 cases, which makes it a treat that won't be available for very long.
