What they say
Fruitabu is a new way to easily enjoy fruit, wherever you are. It's made from delicious 100% fruit and fruit juice, with no added sugar, artificial colours or flavours. One pouch counts as 1 of your 5 a day - it has the great taste of fruit - made easy.
There are two varieties
Fruitabu Appli Crisps : crunchy baked slices of apple (orginal, strawberry, blackcurrant)
Fruitabu Fruit Juices : whole berries soaked in fruit juice then gently air-dried and blended with jumbo flame raisins.
(Juicy Very Cherry, cherry and raisin, Juicy Super berry, whole juicy blueberries, cranberries and jumbo flame raisins., Juicy blackcurrant Boost, Juicy whole blackcurrants and jumbo flame raisins.
Fruitabu is only made from fruit and fruit juice. These top quality ingredients help Fruitabu taste great without the need to add sugar or water like some other fruit snacks.
Carries the Department of Health's "5 A Day" logo because each pouch contains one serving of fruit and no added sugars, colours or flavours .
What I Say
These are tasty, nutritious, healthy snacks, ideal to replace a bag of crisps etc. even if only occasionally, also good for school children who attend one of the schools which encourage healthy snacks. Weight or health conscious people might be able to replace biscuits, crisps, chocolate etc. with a packet of these but I imagine most of us will continue to eat the bad stuff but eat these as well to try and regain some plus points from our bodies
So far everyone who has tasted them has had a different favourite my own would be the apple crisps possibly because they look a bit like crisps, they are crisp and full of fruit flavour but I would hate to give the idea of crisps up completely.
For the fruit juice packets I have had them described by the girls in work as the perfect snack although one along with myself found them a little bitter. I received these from bzzagent.co.uk to trial them before there nationwide release.
The packaging is really pretty and cool and any adult or child would be happy to be seen eating out of the little colourful pouches.
Good idea - great for those who never seem to have fruit in the house when they fancy a bit because it usually goes off in between the buying and the wanting to eat it.
Advantages
Portable
Easy to eat and mess free
Easy to store
Lots of variety
Longer lasting than fresh fruit
Disadvantages
Expensive
Not very filling
Summary: Good for a treat but not not an everyday staple for me
