Harvest Right Sampler Pack Review
This is the Harvest Right Sampler Pack review. The Harvest Right Sampler Pack is a great way to try freeze dried foods without having to buy big bags right away. It comes with a mix of fruits, veggies, and meals so you can see how they taste and how they work in your recipes.
Freeze dried foods are easy to store, last a long time, and keep their flavor, which makes them great to have on hand. I’m so happy to be able to collaborate with my friends over at Harvest Right to show you exactly what you get in this pack.
I’ve always loved freeze dried food because it makes snacking so simple. I’ll toss the fruit into my overnight oats, add the veggies to soups, or just eat them straight out of the bag. It’s fun trying the different textures and seeing how they come back to life when you add water. The sampler pack is perfect if you’re curious about freeze dried food or want to start adding a few things to your pantry.
Harvest Right Sampler Pack Review
Let’s go through this box together and see what Harvest Right sent. I always love that first look inside! All the colors and textures of the freeze dried foods are so fun to check out. I’ll open each bag and show you exactly what you get. Plus at the end of this post, there is also a video.
What’s Included
The Harvest Right Sampler Pack comes with a little bit of everything. Fruits, a full meal, and even sweet snacks. I love that it gives you a real feel for what freeze dried food is like if you are just starting to get into preserving your own food and meals. Everything comes sealed and ready to try, which makes it perfect for taste testing.
I had so much fun opening each pouch to see what was inside. It honestly feels a bit like opening a surprise box and you never know which one will end up being your favorite. When you open the Harvest Right Sampler Pack, it feels like a fun little adventure in food form. Inside, you get a mix of both sweet and savory freeze dried items. So inside is pineapple, bananas, mango smoothie bites, ice cream sandwich bites, and chicken alfredo with spinach.
A Good Variety
It’s a great mix that really shows what a home freeze dryer can do. You’ve got crunchy fruit snacks that taste just like the real thing, dessert bites that melt in your mouth, and even a full meal that’s ready once rehydrated. It’s the kind of variety that makes you want to try everything right away.
The fruit snacks make great quick bites when you are working or need something light on the go. And the chicken alfredo is fantastic for really tasting how freeze dried meals hold up when rehydrated. It’s creamy, flavorful, and fresh once you add water. The ice cream sandwich bites are just delightful bitefuls, and they have a creamy ice cream flavor.
Foods From This Pack
Freeze Dried Pineapple
The pineapple pieces are crisp, sweet, and full of tropical flavor. They’re perfect for snacking, tossing into oatmeal, or adding a bright pop to baked goods. When I tasted them they were crispy and had such vibrant flavor, they are definately one of my favorites from this pack.
Freeze Dried Bananas
The freeze dried banana slices are naturally sweet. They work well in cereal, smoothies, or just as a quick snack straight from the bag. Another way to use these is as a crunchy topping for overnight oats. I really love how freeze dried fruit just kind of melts in your mouth. The texture is very different than dehydrated banana chips.
Freeze Dried Mango Smoothie Bites
These little mango bites are fruity, and fun to eat. They are little round yummy bites the flavor is so bright and fresh. They can be enjoyed as a snack, blended into smoothies, or added to yogurt for extra flavor. But really, just eating them right from the pack is the best way to enjoy them.
Freeze Dried Ice Cream Sandwich Bites
These dessert bites are fun and nostalgic. The way they crunch and then melt in your mouth never gets old! They keep the sweet ice cream flavor and soft cookie texture, making them a unique treat straight from the sampler pack.
Freeze Dried Chicken Alfredo with Spinach
This freeze dried meal rehydrates beautifully with hot water. The chicken, creamy sauce, and spinach taste fresh, making it easy to enjoy a full meal. I’m definately going to be sharing some tutorials on how to make your own meals for camping, hiking or boating so keep watch for those!
