freeze-dried
Our team has a munchie drawer - and it's full of mostly healthy snackerage. Pretzels, 100 cal packs of various cookie/cracker combos, Goldfish and the like. I don't partake too often of the snack bin, but these little goobers are puzzling me. They are tasty, fat free, about 40 calories a serving. Freeze-dried Fuji Apples.
They taste really good - not processed, but they are so light, they melt in your mouth and it's a little like eating apple flavored air (in a puffed form.) The thing that blows my mind is that the package reads that: Each bag (.35 oz) contains 1 and 1/2 Fuji Apples. So I'm eating nearly 2 apples, but there is no weight to what I'm consuming, so it makes my brain itch a bit.
Fuji Apple Crisps. They are quite tasty and unlike a lot of snack foods, don't taste processed or preservative heavy - but they don't stick to your ribs or leave any type of satified feeling in your tummy, the way a bag of pretzels might.

Actually, I do drink water with them...but they aren't dehydrated like trail mix fruit. They are "freeze dried" and have the consistancy of a puffed cereal (but super-duper light. They pretty much dissolve on your tongue (when they hit the moisture in your mouth) - they don't puff up. So, I think your science is faulty, lady.
They're almost like the wafers you get at communion (if I recall correctly), but really, dissolve even faster than those. I remember at least one good crunch out of those wafers.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has crossed the path of this snack food and would love to hear what they think about them. In a way, my brain is like...is it really worth it? Tasty, yes. Filling, no. How much is wasted (or not) in the process of making these? Super low calories, but it's like you didn't even have a snack.
