Wonderful, sun ripened goodness Mar 23, 2010
By David G. Hartman
"fruit fan"
I was very pleased with the product. The fruit was well ripened and semi-dried to provide a delicious alternative to sugary snacks. My emphasis and reason for buying the product was to give my family the nutrient value of the fruit at a time when fresh fruit was difficult to come by or at least very expensive. This product allowed me to accomplish that goal with its wide variety of seedless and pited, well preserved fruit. A tasty and cheifly beneficial treat for the bleakness of winter. Thank you and God bless you! ><>

It's Better If You Don't Look at the Ingredients Jul 17, 2011
By Frank G.
"Once More, With Feeling!"
I purchased this same product from Costco recently. The taste was alright; nothing particularly special, probably a solid three stars. I felt it was a little heavy on the dried plums (that's what we call prunes now, thanks to the boys in marketing for that one), but otherwise it was a respectable mix of fruit. My problems with this product began when I looked more closely at the ingredients.
Here are the ingredients, directly from the package:
California Pitted Dried Plums, Dried Mediterranean Apricots (Product of Turkey), Dried California Peaches, Dried Pears (Product of USA or Argentina), Dried Apricots (Product of USA or Argentina), Dried Apples (Products of Chile, China or Argentina), Medium Chain Triglycerides (from coconut and/or palm kernel)* and Natural Flavoring. Sulfur Dioxide and/or Sodium Bisulfate and/or Potassium Sorbate added as preservatives.
* Adds a trivial amount of fat.
I have two main issues with this:
1. The apples are not from the United States. To be clear, I don't have a problem with imported fruit; it offers consumers year-round availability of things that otherwise might only be available for a couple months. But why are we importing apples into the U.S.? Don't we grow, like, a bazillion of these things every year? And from China no less? If I visited China, it would be risky for me to eat the fruit... is it somehow okay when it's dried out and sold here?
2. There's fat added to fruit. Sure, it's a "trivial" amount, but why is this even happening at all? It's fruit, it doesn't need fat added to it, especially in triglyceride form.
Now, neither of these issues are the end of the world... but I feel like I can do better. I noticed the availability of Mariani Mixed Fruit, made by the same company, but without Chinese apples or triglycerides listed among the ingredients. Do they have two lines of the same product? I'll probably just stick with getting my dried fruit at Trader Joe's... their stuff is pretty reliable.

A Problem With Prunes? Dec 08, 2011
By E. Smith Italian Plums have always been used to make prunes. When allowed to ripen on the vine (tree), these plums are out of this world. The skin of this beautiful dark purple and oval-shaped plum contains very sweet, slightly firm flesh surrounding a small seed that doesn't cling. All this is what makes for a delicious prune when dried.
I noted the other fruits do come from other countries, but so do many of the fresh fruits we purchase in markets and we usually don't know where they came from.
I can't imagine that dried fruit from Costco would necessarily be a better product, especially if it's a house brand. I've noticed lately that some of their products have deteriorated in quality, i.e., baby wipes, bath tissues, to name a couple.

Yikes Jul 25, 2011
By Harry the Horse I am fond of each item in here but I came very close to tossing these after my first handful. Absolutely horrid; cheaper @ Costco if you must.
