Why did you pick this product vs others?:The amount for the price. The value of what's inside is Great as well. It's truly amazing. I do have a couple of questions for the seller.

Item arrived at my house wrapped in a shipping bag, you know the one. This bag was un-damaged but when I opened the shipping bag, the item's bag had a slash. Since this is a food item, the normal return process is more challenging. After working with the merchant directly, they informed me that they are not responsible for fulfillment but still made it right. It has become a gamble to buy food items this way and will probably avoid in future. Food is best to buy local and fresh. Unfortunately this product was neither local or fresh and appeared to be full of sugar negating much of the health benefit. It also felt like one singular clump of petrified matter. I should have just visited my local grocery store for better quality, freshness and value for money. This was a let down like many food purchases here and created more work then it was worth. I would recommend giving this cheap imported product some space.

I didn't read the description as carefully as I should have. It's candied fruit, that is, it has a generous coating of sugar on it. I didn't want that, so I rinsed it in a colander and cut it up to put with yogurt, granola, etc. I stuck it under a fan to dry it quickly. That worked well. The kiwi fruit is dyed an ugly, unnatural bright green. I couldn't do anything about that. The fruit tastes pretty good once the excess sugar is gone. I suppose it's fine if you want candied fruit. I won't buy it again

Super sugary fruit. More like a candy than dried fruit. Fruit pieces are small chopped to lots of huge pieces! Not at all like pictured. Disappointing.

Great for snacks, very fresh and not sticky.

I bought this tropical mix along with a variety of other dried fruit for a fruitcake project. Unfortunately the project was delayed for two years. When I started to regroup this year to try again, a number of other things in my fruit stash were no longer usable. Much to my surprise, this bag was not just dried but candied in sugar and still very edible. Not really right for fruitcake due to the flavors, and probably not very suitable for anyone trying to cut sugar as it is truly like candy, but I like it very much as a snack. Important to keep it sealed or in a jar once the bag is opened because it gets hard in our dry air.PS. I did buy a new bag to compare to the aged one. The new is much softer and juicier, and the flavors more clearly delineated. In the older bag, the cantaloupe was overpowering the others, and I believe that is the flavor some people found odd or "chemical," since cantaloupe is not common in preserved fruit.

Way so much sugary sweet than you’d expect. Every piece of fruit tasted exactly the same. They are definitely water proof. Even after falling in the lake. The coating kept them…., pliable…
