Archer Farms Organic 100% Real Fruit Strips: A Perfect Snack

Emily Harmon
I am always on the lookout for ways to add more fruits and vegetables to my toddler son's diet, as well as to my own diet. While perusing the aisles of Target recently, I stumbled across Archer Farms Organic 100% Real Fruit Strips. These naturally flavored 100-percent real fruit strips are available only at Target. I was anxious to give them a try.

Archer Farms Organic 100% Real Fruit Strips are similar to other fruit leather products on the market. They have a chewy consistency and sweet, fruity flavor. Each package contains 10 half ounce fruit strips. A regularly priced box of Archer Farms Organic Fruit Strips costs $2.99 which makes each strip about $.30 a piece, considerably less than other fruit leathers I have priced.

Archer Farms Organic 100% Real Fruit Strips come in a variety of flavors including apricot, blueberry, pomegranate, and strawberry. I chose to purchase the apricot and pomegranate flavors. Both flavors of the Archer Farms Organic 100% Real Fruit Strips have just 45 calories and no fat per serving. Since the serving is rather small, there are not a ton of nutrients in Archer Farms Organic 100% Real Fruit Strips. Each strip has about 4% of your daily needs for fiber and 3% of your potassium. You will also be getting 8 to 9 grams of sugar per serving, but this is the natural sugar occurring in fruits.

Despite not being a powerhouse for the specific nutrients listed on the nutrition facts label, Archer Farms 100% Organic Real Fruit Strips are still a healthy choice. The only ingredients found in this product are organic fruit purees, organic fruit juices, natural flavors, and pectin. These simple organic ingredients are a wonderful feature. In eating such powerhouse fruits as apricots, pomegranates, blueberries, and strawberries you are also getting cancer-fighting antioxidants which is important to note if you are considering purchasing Archer Farms Organic 100% Real Fruit Strips.

My son and I both loved the taste of Archer Farms Organic 100% Real Fruit Strips. They are very tasty and my son who only has 6 teeth so far was able to chew his fruit strip without any trouble. At only 45 calories, Archer Farms Organic 100% Real Fruit Strips make a great sweet snack that are also perfect for packing in lunches and stashing in your purse or diaper bag for a portable snack.

I am indeed the nutritional police in my household and these Archer Farms Organic 100% Real Fruit Strips stand up to my stringent tests. Not only are they nutritious, but they also are very tasty, even to a picky toddler. I highly recommend Archer Farms Organic 100% Real Fruit Strips, available in packs of 10 from Target.
