Karen's Naturals Just Veggies (8-Ounces ) Large Pouch

These freeze dried veggies are a great way to get some added nutrition on days when I don't make a proper meal due to my husband working late into the evening (9pm). We just grab a handful and munch on them. The tomatoes and peppers add the most flavor to the mix and I'm not sure I'd like it without them. Others say they add them to soups and other meals such as pasta sauce or chili, and I will do this the next time I make any of these things. I love the crunch of the veggies, especially the corn. This would also make an excellent survival food and will last a very long time in storage. One could also simply reconstitute them in some water and eat them hot with any meal. It's a time saver and a grand idea. I enjoy keeping them in my cupboard knowing I have this option for just eating, adding to sauces and soups, or storing for emergencies.

These are great for traveling when I'm not sure what I'm going to be able to eat.I'm a fairly strict vegetarian (I get major digestive problems when consuming certain types of meats), and when I travel overseas, sometimes I come across areas where it's hard to find food I'm comfortable eating. Often, anything fried is either fried in fish oil or with other meats, and if I'm unsure, I don't take a chance. This often ends up with me eating lots of grains and breads, but sometimes fewer vegetables, which leads to further digestive problems. Now, I always travel with a bag of these, just in case. I can supplement a diet for a long trip with a single bag of this.Also, these are pretty tasty for a snack. I like them dry right out of the bag, though the wife doesn't like the flavor plain.

I ordered this by mistake. I thought I had selected the Just Strawberries. I tried it and the combination is actually very good! The corn makes it taste good. The corn is very sweet and dominates the rest in a good way. Corn is small, peas are small so imagine trying to pick up such small pieaces! It is awkward. Oh, the tomatoes are barely there. They are little pieces that can hardly be seen and look like specks but somehow the combination of the corn is what makes the combination taste good. Seriously-- the pieces of tomato are very SMALL. Try it, you will like it but get clever on how to eat theseotherwise you will have peas all over the place!!! I would recommend them and glad I could not return them and the mistake turned out to be a good one. The con is that the small pieces of tomatoes are like a joke. They can do better with that!!!

The company is called JUST TOMATOES. But they have so muchmore. I originally started buying their products for my 4PARROTS. So now when my family sees me use it in our foodthey accuse me of feeding them BIRD FOOD. They have almostevery fruit and vegs you could want. I put the vegs in soupsand stews and I even sprinkle them over green salad. You cannot believe how much flavor they add. I buy the red pepper, onions &tomatoes to add to sauces. They do not carry the dried mushroomsany more that I really liked. They will never SPOIL.The fruits are good snacks for the grandkids. I have a hard timemaking them understand you do not need a lot because they areso concentrated. I like the FRUIT MUNCHIES & STRAWBERRYSand BANANAS.The only negative thing I can so is they are EXPENSIVE. $$$$I wish they were cheaper.SO BUY SOME AND FEED YOUR FAMILY BIRD FOOD too.UPDATE 2012---I have found another product I like very much too...HARMONY HOUSE dried fruit and veggies--for sale on Amazon too.

I am the grandma who is constantly dieting and I have a toddler granddaughter who literally hates to eat. This product helps both of us! It is a very healthy no sugar added, fat free snack. I eat the veggies one piece at a time. They are crunchy and literally melt in my mouth. I am amazed at how good they are. My granddaughter also likes them. She is a picky eater and she also eats one piece at a time. Now I know she is getting nutrition instead of eating junk food. Yes, they are expensive, but you aren't going to be sitting around eating these by the spoonful like you would regular cooked veggies. I have only eaten them so far as a snack, but I am looking for ways to include them in my salads. These snacks are also good for my grandson who is just learning to eat regular food. They are small enough and dissolve in the mouth and I won't worry about him choking (I always feed him under supervision!) These snacks are worth a try.

The taste is amazing. I bought 3 bags and will definitely buy more. Since this is freeze dried this is a great snack to keep in your car, or have in case of emergencies since it lasts for a long time without going bad. This particular brand has fruits as well (which I have not tried yet because I prefer the taste of veggies and savory snacks but I will look to purchasing in the future.)Although this is a bit pricey it's a great alternative to snacking on fatty foods or potato chips and a little goes a long way. I usually am satisfied with a small bowl of these but if you want to polish off an entire bag you can be confident you're just eating a ton of veggies and nothing more.

Bought these for a camping/hiking trip. Super lightweight and great no matter how you have them. The first night, we were too hungry to start a fire, so eating them dry/"raw" was fine. Partially boiled, also fine. Boiled and re-hydrated, great!! I was not a fan of the tomatoes added in, my partner and I both felt that they tasted strange. Still ate them for the nutrition but again, probably great for soups.

I am really loving this product, which I discovered while researching different instant soups to purchase. A reviewer said that she put these veggies into her soup for extra nutrition. What a great idea! They're delicious and really add a lot to plain old instant soup. I've been trying to be more health-conscious and these really help. I keep a tub in my desk drawer and a tub at home and use them with soup anytime I want a healthy snack instead of hitting the vending machine. My only complaint is that the tubs are not as large as pictured. You still get a lot, just not as much as led to believe by the photo.
