Freeze-dried strawberries deliver fresh results

There are many freeze-dried products on the market today, but the one that caught our eye was Karen’s Naturals Organic Just Strawberries.

This company has a long-standing tradition, reaching as far back as 1860. Bill Cox, and his wife, Karen, now run the farm in Westley, California, introducing dehydrated Just Tomatoes in 1985. This company has moved well beyond tomatoes and into other dehydrated and freeze-dried fruit and vegetables. They renamed the company to Karen’s Naturals in 2016, “as a tribute to the nurturing spirit of my wife,” said Bill.

The Just Strawberries we purchased are verified non-GMO and gluten free. They are free from additives, preservatives and sweeteners, and their ingredient list comprises one thing: freeze-dried organic strawberries. These strawberries give you a taste of fresh when you eat them, and can be sprinkled on salads and cereal or mixed into yogurt and pancakes. They are versatile, and they won’t spoil like fresh strawberries.

The Karen’s Naturals website has a blog and recipe finder, with helpful tips on how to use their products; however, you can always just eat them straight and enjoy a little summer anytime of the year.

We love these products and that gives Karen’s Naturals an IMBHO-yes!
