Who Knew Leather Could Taste So Good?
Posted by Chris Arpante on Kids Cuisine
Every time I see Stretch Island Fruit Co.™’s Fruit Leather, I wonder why it isn’t in the snack aisle with the other fruit snacks. Sure, Fruit Roll Ups have fun with their packaging and are pretty close in the amount of calories to Fruit Leather, about 50 calories. But, Fruit Leather have the upper hand, as Roll Ups are higher in sugar content, sodium, and carbs. All Fruit Leather flavors are real fruit, have no added sugar or preservatives added, equal one fruit exchange, and are fat free.
Now that school is in session for most, if not all, areas, Stretch Island Fruit Co.’s Fruit Leather strips are a snack lunch-packers should consider when filling superhero or princess lunch boxes. A little more money than Roll Ups, usually 33 cents each, or 3/$100, the Fruit Leathers are much healthier. And how can you put a price on healthy living? Don’t be deterred by its name; the Fruit Leathers’ texture are fairly soft (with some fruit flavors softer than others), even though they are a lot thicker than the Roll Ups.
