Crispi I Fruits

Got these vacuum dried fruits from Octopus Inc or you can get them here:

There was freeze dried pineapples, longans and bananas which I have not tried before.

It feels really interesting holding a bag of these vacuum dried fruits because I love the clinking noise it makes when you rattle the bag just like pieces of ceramics clinking together and it feels so weightless too because all the water has been drawn out in the vacuuming process.

I love vacuum dried items because it keeps the nutrients while the flavour gets concentrated and intense.

Banana:
Usually banana chips are fried so it was good to try the vacuum dried version which are non oily and crispy. The fried version is really hard and not so nice.

Longan:
The vacuum dried Longans were quite sweet but then the fresh ones are real sweet anyway and the colour was interestingly brown.

Pineapple:
The vacuum dried pineapples taste better than fresh ones because I've never liked them fresh as they were too juicy and the fibres were woody.

But as a vacuum dried snack, the fibres are brittle and the pineapple pieces are crispy with natrual tartness of the pineapple.

häagen-dazs banana & cream

Not an fan of Banana bi-products but tried this because is was häagen-dazs and overall it tasted quite natrual so it was quite nice, the sweetness was not too sweet.

To try: Banoffee curd by Baxters

Toffee and bananas are the perfect flavour combination and they complement the smooth and velvety texture of this truly fantastic Banoffee Curd recipe. It’s yet another unique taste sensation from the Audrey Baxter Signature range with an unexpected twist. A delicious addition to ice cream sundaes and warm pancakes straight from the griddle.
