Mavuno HarvestPapaya Dried Fruit Snacks | Organic Dried Papaya Slices | Gluten Free Healthy Snacks for Kids and Adults | No Sugar Added, Vegan, Non GMO, Direct Trade | 2 Ounce, Pack of 3

Excellent flavor and texture, not too wet or soft, but not too chewy or hard either. The best dry bananas I've tried, and I've tried many of the ones on the market. No mold, or strange smells. The bananas are actually sweet. Great to snack on during pregnancy, but I had tried these prior to pregnancy and loved them then too. Highly recommended!

The taste is awesome (we have had this before), but the package was sliced open (looked like with a box cutter) before it was out in the shipping envelope … which means it should have been caught before it was shipped.I requested a refund and ordered a new bag. If it comes unscathed, the next shipment will get a better rating.2nd shipment came fine and tastes great.

Mavuno Harvest Organic Dried Fruit Variety Pack | Dried Mango, Papaya, Pineapple, Banana, Jackfruit, & Tropical Mix | Healthy, Vegan, No Sugar Added, Non GMO Snacks for Kids & Adults | 2 Ounce, 6 PackI finally finished the last of these packages, so I felt a need to rewrite parts of my review.I eat fruit almost everyday, and dried fruit for me is an easy way to get the fruit into my diet. I have a few flavors that are my favorites but I like to try different brands and different flavors from time to time. Preferencing that, here is my review on this assortment, and please keep in mind, I give very few one star reviews- but this product deserves it, and this is why.The dried fruit comes in attractive retail packages with bright colors and vibrant pictures on the outside. Each pack is the rip-off style of opening with a press and seal closure, in case you don't eat all of it right away. The packages are pretty and pleasing to look at.That's where the fun ends with this product.Inside the bag, is a small amount of dried fruit that is a medium to dark brown color and unattractive to look at. The smell is very vaguely of the fruit that's in the container. You don't get an intense fruit smell from these, it's very subdued. Understanding that these are dried fruit, and fruit shrivel and become desiccated as they dry, these still look sad. Brown and leathery looking. I gave it a shot anyway, but taste wise, they're not that great. They're okay, but not great. There is a small amount of flavor, and the fruit pieces are very hard to chew. Once you get to chewing, and your saliva kicks in then you can get some flavor out of these. With the unattractive and unfavorable appearance of these fruits, paired with poor taste and adding the extremely high cost, I absolutely cannot recommend these. I wanted to try something different- but please take heed of my words, don't do this to yourself, and waste your money as I did.

I’ve really enjoy eating these, especially the pineapple and banana ones. The taste was good. I wasn’t a fan of the mango because it lacked taste.

I was quite hesitant to buy this dried jackfruit after reading the many hit-or-miss reviews. Gambled on the 1 lb bag anyway and am happy to report this giant bag of dried jackfruit is a tasty, high-quality product as imagined!! Others might've received bad batches (highly possible).I was recently enjoying the many tropical fruits of Vietnam and particularly craved jackfruit SO BAD when back in the States. It's the middle of winter and somehow, the local H-Mart (Koreatown in NYC) was selling fresh jackfruit. The taste was decent, but it broke off in chunks (good ones can peel) and obviously pricey at $3.50 for a few dry pieces.This dried version captures the sweet, mild Asian banana-y, bubblegum-esque funky umami of real jackfruit. Having eaten several handfuls so far, about 90-95% of the pieces have been sweet, tacky, moist, and pleasant to chew. You can even peel it down vertically like the real fruit. Occasionally there's the odd, possibly sour and/or leathery piece, but that's to be expected with natural food. A handful of these feels like a luxurious, satisfying treat when real jackfruit isn't easily available.PLEASE, for the love and labor of Mother Nature and these hard-working farmers, DO NOT COVER THIS IN BBQ SAUCE AND PRETEND IT'S MEAT. Use canned green/unripe jackfruit for BBQ travesties.Jackfruit is not a flavor for everyone. If you're not sure what it tastes like, try to locate the fresh jackfruit first, or enjoy this convenient dried version as was intended.

This was my first time purchasing something like dried papaya, which I like since it is sweet and juicy. Unfortunately, this was nothing as anticipated.It was so hard to chew and with several crowns in my teeth I just couldn't "afford" to try and shred a piece of it with my teeth.I soaked it in boiling water which did puff it up a bit but then it was mushy and didn't have much flavor. So basically I can't eat this at all.I'm not sure about their other items, but would not recommend this.UPDATE:I decided to give this a second chance only with a different fruit, and that is the pineapple and oh what a difference! This is absoutely delicious, soft, chewy and sweet but not too sweet. The best dried pineapple I have ever had. I highly recommend it!

I was looking for a low acid snack, papayas are low in acid. There are NO added sugars, so it is not nearly as tasty and tender as dried sweetened papayas. I cut it up into 1/2" pieces for snacking. Though it's not as tasty and tender as the sweetened version, I am giving it 5 starts because it is well packaged, its a low calorie, low acid snack. Because it's not a sugary snack, you are less likely to overeat them. There are a lot of dried papayas in 40 grams which only have 103 calories.

They're dried, but not as one might expect to get dried fruit. They're hard! Not meaty - just hard and leatherlike.
