#FirstImpressions Of Frubites Dehydrated Fruit Chips
The concept of dehydrated chips is a relatively new one in India. While some gourmet brands do produce dehydrated chips from veggies such as potatoes, yam, and bhindi, the idea of dehydrated fruit chips which are sweet is fairly new and innovative.
The flavors in Frubites are bang on, albeit a little concentrated, which is to be expected in a dehydrated snack. Once you get past the dry, sometimes powdery texture you may just like them. What we disliked the most was its dry, powdery texture.
While we understand that as dehydrated chips these are supposed to be crunchy and have a crispy bite to them. But some of the flavors feel so dry that they stick to your palate. Frubites Mango tastes intensely sweet and very much like what fresh really sweet mango would taste like. However, the powdery, dry remnants sticking to your palate make it all a bit weird. Banana and jackfruits are amongst the nicer flavors, and not as dry.
Good use of these would be as toppings on ice-creams and puddings or a bowl of cold oats. The crunchy flavors would work well with smoothies, desserts, and cereals.
Also, make sure you store these in an airtight container once the pack is opening. Humidity can make these soggy, as is the case with most other snacks. Ours became like sticky marshmallows!
