Christina's Voice:
Dried yellow nectarines have a really strong flavor, have a rubber chewy taste. I am not a big fan of nectarines but these are pretty good. Retail value $8.00 and up.

Extremely fragrant and flavorful, Bella Viva's dried yellow nectarines are harvested and dried in the California sun for that natural sun-baked taste. These Nectarines are a rich source of vitamin A and iron. Pack a few of these on your way to work as a high-fiber snack or chop them up and mix them with some almonds and walnuts for a perfect trail mix.

Christina's Voice:
Tart California apples are my husband favort, he says the taste is perfect and just enough for him. so he took the whole 4oz bag ha. Retail price $5.00 for an 8 oz bag.

The apple is an excellent source of dietary fiber, providing you with nearly 20% of your needs for the day. 25% of the fiber found in apples is soluble. This type of fiber may help reduce cholesterol by preventing it from being absorbed by the body. So grab a few bags of this healthy snack, step out of the house and smell the sunshine!

Christina's Voice:

California big cherries, yes they are from cali. and these are another great product to try out they still have moisture in the bag. They kinda look like raisins to me to. Retail 1 pound bag $9.00.


Grown on our Modesto orchards, these deep purple Dried Bing Cherries pack a wallop of sweetness. They are a great snack and perfect for baking. Make a tasty treat by stuffing our unsweetened dried cherries with chocolate chips, and use them in the cookie dough of a chocolate chip cookie recipe - kids love them. You can also sprinkle these in with your muesli and yogurt for refreshing continental breakfast.
