Just had my first Fruitabu organic smooshed fruit.

It's pretty good stuff actually. I love that it's all real fruit (actually it's a half of a fruit serving for your 5 a day!)

If I had kids (which I don't) I would 100% serve them these over a fruit rollup without question. No additional sugar, organic fruit and tastes pretty good. It's not exactly candy, but if you weren't raised with candy, then it's pretty close

In full disclosure, I've only had one of these...I got a sample for free at the SF Green Festival (I think) last year.  And I haven't eaten fruit snacks or fruit roll-ups since I was a kid...so perhaps my memory of how delicious (albeit chemically enhanced) those were.  But I sure did love them.

In any case, FruitaBu is interesting.  I like the premise certainly...a reasonably healthy alternative to those fake fruit snacks, made with real fruit, organic, natural, no added sugar, gluten-free, made in the US.  All that jazz.  Yeah, I like all that.

But goodness gracious.  I tasted it but I couldn't eat the whole roll.  I found it to be just too sweet for me, but beyond that, it was just SO sticky.  I could hardly get it off the paper thing.  And once I did, I could hardly get it off my fingers!  In any case, it did not make for easy grown-up sampling.  Perhaps kids might dig the stickiness...but it sure wasn't for me.  And I have to admit...I did compost the rest of it.  Wasteful, I know.  But I just couldn't hack it.

Five stars for effort.  Not so many stars for the rest....sorry, folks.
