Tropical Mangosteen Freeze Dried

Tropical Mangosteen Freeze Dried
Wow, another crazy unexpected TJ's product. Mangosteen is typically advertised as a "superfruit", i.e. particularly strong nutritional and antioxidant content (Not sure this claim is true, but it's tasty.)

The freeze-dried version has the same texture as freeze-dried ice cream (or f-d anything, I imagine), but is sweet and slightly crunchy. I could eat these all day and if I did, the entire bag has 170 calories and 1 gram of fat.

The pit is left in, as when freeze dried it becomes crunchy and essentially the same texture as the rest of the fruit.

I love these, and it's one of those products you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere (and if you did it'd be very expensive.)

As a fan of unusual food, and snacky treats, I loved these. I thought they were sort of like healthy Lucky Charms marshmallow bits!

even better is their freeze dried rambutan, but these are great as an alternative snack.

Mangosteen have a ton of antioxidants, but unfortunately these are all in the very dark and very bitter rind, not the white fruit that you eat. If you've ever cut open a fresh one and squeeze too hard while pulling the halves apart, the rind juices coat the fruit and it ruins them. So I think the health claims are bunk!
