Where Does Special K Get The Red Berries?
Remember when you were a kid and you’d dump the cereal on the table to get the prize inside?
We do that. To get the red berries.
Zacharie loves the cereals with the dried strawberries in them. The freeze dried ones. Not the wet dried ones. The crispy ones that look like they’d be perfect for space food.
Sure, he’ll eat fresh strawberries every now and again, but really he’s all about the freeze dried red berries.
So we buy the Special K, and we buy the All Bran with the berries in the box, but honestly? There must be maybe 1/2 cup in the entire box. Not enough. We dump them on the counter, pick out the berries and then are left with just plain Special K and All Bran.
Soo .. where can you buy freeze dried strawberries like you find in the boxes? Not the wet dried ones, tried those from a natural food store but they were too chewy. I need the crispy ones.
Help?

Whole Foods. Will confirm for you tonight, but almost 100% sure.
I tweeted you but figured I’d reply here too. Costco sells them in big bags. Gerber or Heinz can’t remember which sells bags of freeze dried mixed strawberry/banana bits but the bits are tiny.

thx sandi. those ones are a little different. i’m looking for big slices of berry all dried up.
My sleep deprived brain muddled up my comment
Costco sells slices of berries, not the baby bits. I got the baby bits from IGA. The ones from Costco did look like the ones in Special K.
I believe that Choices / Whole Foods should have what you’re looking for – freeze dried strawberries, that is. If not, you might try to hit up the folks at Jiva Organics or Golden Boy Foods. You know. If you want a good amount to last until Z hits high school.
Trader Joes has them!!
I have this same problem but they sell the EXACT same strawberries as in the special k boxes.
