Addictive, healthy treats! Absolutely love them though they’re pretty expensive here.
I originally purchased these at Costco after my girlfriend turned me onto themand wow I am hooked! I crave them now as a nice snack and sweet treat. Great for kids to have a healthy snack better than candy. They’re sweet. They’re too. They’re perfect. I would’ve never guessed. I would love dried strawberries this much.! They’re a bit expensive here on Amazon but occasionally I still splurge when Costco is out because they’re that good!

The perfect prune/plum

Very sweet due to apple juice concentrate.
We use the 32 oz. containers of unsweetened Greek yogurt to make large (famly-size/week's worth) batches of various flavors and flavor combinations of yogurt for a light lunch. In my case, it's usually plain Greek yogurt with peeled and sliced bananas, still a bit green at the stem and without freckling, and dried tart cherries (which I pre-soak in a container in the 'fridge for several days using ordinary apple cider and a touch of concentrated cold-processed tart cherry juice) with about 1/4 C. Anthony's organic cocoa powder, plus a total of no more than 30 ml. of NuNaturals stevia syrup. I use a combination of liquid vanilla syrup (roughly 20 ml.) and chocolate stevia syrup (10 ml.) for a little sweetness and flavor enhancement. In my husband's case, I use a combination of one scoop each Naturelo's Raw Greens powder in both the plain unsweetened and mixed berries flavor (NOTE: the latter is sweetened with monk fruit, etc.). I add fresh blueberries to the yogurt, and recently added Happy Village dried strawberries as well. I use less of the liquid stevia (about 25 ml) combining simple syrup and vanilla syrup, due to the sweetness of the mixed berry flavored powder. Recently I tried adding Happy Vilage dried strawberries to dried blueberries instead. Due to a miscommunication, I thought my spouse had forgotten to buy fresh blueberries (acttually, he had forgotten to put them away). I added roughly 8 oz. (volume) dried blueberries to 8 oz. (volume) dried strawberries. I had already added vanilla stevia to the yogurt, so it was too late to adjust for the extra sweetness. It took a couple of days for the fruit to partly re-hydrate in the yogurt, and I discovered that it made the yogurt very thick, which is good, but made the whole thing very, very sweet. I had no idea the newly purchased wild dried blueberries, which are naturally sweet, wouldn't have any tartness at all. The strawberries from "Happy Village" had been infused with concentrated apple juice, so the taste I associate with natural strawberries wasn't there, either. My husband like the results anyway, but as he points out, he is a gourmand, not a gourmet. We both liked the continued "chewiness" of the dried strawberries in the yogurt. Next time, I pre-soaked the strawberries with a little lemon-infused filtered water and just a bit of apple cider to bring back some of the true strawberry flavor and help balance the sweetness. Please note that unless one really likes a super-sweet (dessert?) yogurt, it is best to use fresh blueberries with the dried strawberries and the other ingredients I mentioned, and adjust the stevia liquid accordingly. The batch I made a few days after the overly sweet version had 16 oz. of fresh blueberries plus Happy Village dried strawberries that I had soaked as described above, but also had the powders and stevia added. I may skip the cider for soaking the strawberries and stick to the lemon-infused filtered water, but I keep apple cider on hand for soaking dried tart cherries anyway. All of the products other than the yogurt were purchased through Amazon. True confession time: That excludes the "RealLemon" brand lemon juice concentrate I sometimes dilute for use in making lemonade or as part of my recipe for tuna salad, and now as part of the pre-soak for dried strawberries. I get the juice from the local grocery store, having reached an age where life is too short for slicing and/or squeezing lemons unless a recipe really requires it.

So good
Good quality with a great variety of fruit. I bought to put in my latest batch of kombucha. They’re not too hard and not to soft.

High-milage Dates But Good
These dates are harvested and sun-dried in Tunisia which is located in the northern part of Africa. Then, they traveled to Turkey in Europe; and from there, they traveled half a planet to Austin, Texas in the U. S. A. These are high-milage dates!However, they do not appear to be Medjul Dates. Just have a look at the picture that I attached. It shows a significant difference in size when compared with a Medjool Date from NUTS U.S.Nonetheless, the Happy Village Dates are organic and they taste very good. I do not know yet if I will or will not re-order.
