THRIVE® Banana Slices are a freeze-dried specialty that adds mouth-watering flavor to healthy snacks, breakfast, and dessert. THRIVE® Banana Slices are an excellent source of potassium, and they retain all the natural flavors and nutrients of bananas picked right off the tree.
You can use THRIVE Banana Slices when they are dry or rehydrated. Simply toss a handful of THRIVE Banana Slices into your fruit smoothies or baked goods for a burst of sweetly tropical flavor.
Rehydration Instructions:
Soak 1 cup of Banana Slices in 1 cup of cool water for 3–5 minutes, or until hydrated and drain any excess water.

What is freeze drying?
THRIVE freeze-dried products are flash frozen, sublimated, and packaged to remove as much water as possible, all without sacrificing quality or nutritional value. These foods last longer and are healthier than foods that are simply dehydrated. Though both processes remove significant amounts of water from perishable food items, the speed of freeze drying locks in existing tastes and nutrients that would be lost during dehydration. Additionally, since freeze drying removes a greater percentage of water than dehydration, the shelf life of freeze-dried food increases by several years.

Storage Conditions
Temperature: Storing THRIVE at a high temperature can significantly increase the speed that calories and vitamins will degrade over time. In the correct storage container, low-moisture foods such as THRIVE can be stored at room temperature or cooler (75 degrees Fahrenheit or lower) and remain nutritious and edible for years. Our stated shelf life assumes that the product will be stored in optimal conditions.
Humidity: The affects of humidity on a closed can are caused by heat and very similar to the affects of high temperature (see above). High humidity can corrode the cans and in some cases even cause the cans to leak. Areas with high humidity can reduce the opened shelf life of the product. As humidity varies with location please use your own discretion to prevent possible sickness from eating spoiled food.
Damaged Container: Minor dents in the center of the can are usually just a cosmetic issue. However, a can that has been dented near or on a seam can have a compromised air-tight seal and allow oxygen to enter the can. If this is the case we recommend using the dented can within the specified opened shelf life, rather than closed.
The best way to maintain the highest quality of your THRIVE products is to take care of them. If you intend on storing your food for the sealed shelf life, store the cans in a place that is not open to elements such as water, light, and air. Take care of it. Don't expose it unnecessarily to the elements. Also, be sure to keep the temperature and humidity low and even. Under these proper storing situations your THRIVE will maintain its delicious taste, natural coloring, and proper nutrients.

Delicious
These are better than normal bananas -- seriously! I don't eat bananas regularly, but I could eat way too many of these in one sitting if I dared.

Great Healthy Snack
I bought these for my toddler and he nearly ate the entire bag the first day we had it. He just couldn't get enough. I love that these are not too hard for my toddler and I to eat. They taste perfectly ripe and I am going to buy an entire can next time to ensure we have enough of these on hand. We didn't manage to use them for other things other than snacking but that will be the plan next time.

Tastes just like real Bananas -- oh wait, they are!
These bananas have a great flavor and are the perfect ripeness--reminds me of the frozen ones we make to put in our milkshakes or dip in chocolate. They're cut about 1/4-1/2" thick. Unlike dehydrated where I feel my teeth will break by eating them, these are crunchy and easy to eat dry. My kids love to add them to their "fruit bag" they take to school for snack. Great in muffins, cereal, oatmeal, or smoothies!
