The Rotten Fruit Box

I have ordered twice now from the Rotten Fruit Box and really happy with the products and service, so will continue to order. I initially ordered out of curiosity and that it is hard to get ripe seasonal fruit where I live. I hate that beautiful fruits are left to rot that I wish I was eating also I wanted to have healthier snacks available. So far I have loved trying out the various fruits and adding them to our breakfasts, desserts, salads, treats and snacks. A little goes a very long way and you can taste the superior flavour. I also love the crunchy texture that some of the bigger fruits like peaches and pineapple have as it makes a healthy substitute for crisp cravings. Glad they use compostable packaging and always feel like it is Christmas when I et a box in the post:-)

Loved the snacks I received! They were all super tasty and this company helps reduce food waste! Will probably buy a gift subscription for friend, with kids especially, as I can't imagine a better substitute for the junk food type snacks kids often eat, than these shelf stable, complete, all natural, tasty bits! I also love the surprise factor of the seasonal box (There are other, more customizable options). My only complaint is that the pouches are pretty small, but they are making them compostable now, so that's a plus!

How lovely to have this fruit on my cereals every morning not only does it taste good but also has the smell of the fresh fruit it also is good for snacking on.
I will certainly be recommending this to friends and family and will certainly be purchasing again

I opted out of the subscription and ordered a single box to give this fruit a try. I liked the story and mission behind this company and who isn't looking for healthy snacks, right?

I decided to try a virety of the fruit so I ordered strawberries, raspberries, apples, bananas and peaches. The strawberries and peaches were recommended by other customers on the site so I made sure to include those in my choices.

It took about a month from when I ordered for it to arrive. That seemed fairly reasonable considering the site was warning about a 5 day shipping delay and a Canada Post strike although many others were complaining about shipping speed.

I was excited when my box arrived but that kinda dissipated when I started opening the pouches. I started with the peaches, when I opened the pouch it didn't smell like peaches but like some kind of tea and they tasted just like the smell. Rather dissapointing.

The bananas were the same but they do have a slight banana taste. A bunch of the banana slices were stuck together and they crumble when you try to separate them.

The apples were also disappointing in flavor. I like the shape more than the standard apple chip but they lack the flavour compared to other brands I've tried.

However the raspberries and strawberries are really quite delicious. The only problem with them is a lot if them got smashed in shipping, theres a lot of red powder in the pouches.

I'm not sure if I'll order again but if I do it will be a strictly berry order and I wouldn't go with the subscription. It's a nice treat but I'm not sure the cost and benefits are balancing.

I recently had a fantastic experience with The Rotten Fruit Box. This amazing company sources fruit from local farms that would otherwise go to waste, freeze-dries it, and passes on the savings to customers like me. I was truly impressed by their mission and the quality of the items I purchased.

I decided to try their Bits and Pieces pouches, which turned out to be a great choice. Not only did they offer a variety of fruit, but some pouches even contained larger pieces, which was a pleasant surprise. What's even better is that these pouches were discounted!

While my main intention was to get their loquats, I couldn't resist exploring their other offerings. And let me tell you, the loquats did not disappoint! They were crunchy, light, and perfectly sweet—everything I had imagined. I even experimented by rehydrating a few loquats in my drink, and the flavor was even more delightful.

Despite the distance, the shipping was surprisingly fast considering it came all the way from Portugal. I placed my order on May 27,2023, and received it on June 7,2023. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and with the company as a whole. I'm already looking forward to my next order from The Rotten Fruit Box!

I am not going to lie to you, it has been about eighteen hours since The Rotten Fruit Box arrived and I have already eaten all of the freeze-dried pineapple. Like, I can not even described to you how good it was.
The box was wonderful - in fully biodegradable, compostable packaging and crammed to the brim with nutritious, healthy goodness. So good that I have already put an order in for my second box.

I placed an order for the mixed sampler because I wanted to use the fruit in my summer drinks. It works really great for that and they really do have a great product. Three months later, with no forewarning, I got an order confirmation for another box. I reached out because I didn't understand what was happening. They said I had sign up for a subscription. I don't remember doing that, but okay. They said they would cancel it for me. Then I got the shipping confirmation. I explained I still had plenty of product left and didn't need more, and they sent me a link for recipes. The point wasn't that I didn't know what to do with the stuff, the point was I didn't really need any more product.
I spent a half hour looking everywhere to cancel my subscription, but couldn't find it, so I wrote back asking they cancel my subscription and that I didn't want anymore shipments, and any further charges would be disputed with my credit card. That's when I got a super snarky response that they already said in the FIRST email they would cancel it for me. I thought they meant the shipment, but they meant the subscription.
If this is how they treat people confused by their process, vague communication, and surprise shipments, it can't be a well-run company. Buyer beware.

Everything I have gotten from The Rotten Fruit Box Company has added a spark of flavor - White Onion - a crunch - dried Strawberry and warm smoothness - creamy watercress soup!

I'm in love with freeze dried fruit, and this guys make an excelent product! I find dried fruit soft and sticky and this frreze driwd fruit is crunchy and super tasty. You can use as snach, take it with yogur, add it to your milkshake, even to add color and taste to the salad! There are some sweeter fruits and some sour fruits, if you don't like all the flavours I recommend the custom set or even give it a try buying one or two bags. I'm a customer forever

Great products, the freeze dried berries are my favourites. Nothing extra, no additives, pure berries and fruits.
