I love these freeze-dried strawberries! #berrylover #driedfruits They’re such a fun and delicious addition to my morning oatmeal; recently I used them as a finishing touch on my brownies, and often I’ll #snack straight from the bag. In the photo, I crushed them up, but they normally come in big, intact slices. There is #noaddedsugar, and the only ingredient is strawberries! Though the bag feels like there’s not much in it, it’s really a great value: the 1.2 oz end product feels airy and light, but contains all of the concentrated flavor and goodness of 12 oz of fresh #strawberry — a 90% reduction! After trying my hand at the dehydrating #fruit this past year, I’ve concluded that $2.99 is indeed fair for the time-intensive process and cost of inputs. (Side note: freeze-drying is super cool; the lab I used to work in had a lyophilizer and it always totally fascinated me.)

Also, quick tip (perhaps common knowledge, but I want to save people from repeating my mistakes) — put the berries on after baking!! I shook them on in the last minute and that was enough heat, they totally carbonized :(( I had to brush the burnt bits off and apply a second layer sadly
