An acceptable mix of dried fruit for taking on a hike; needs salted nuts to cut the sweetness.

I've bought this before, though never in such quantities. About a months ago, my wife and I were hiking Coyote Hills, and while tracking a white-tailed kite, kind of lost track of time and distance. We didn't plan that day very well, and when we got back to the car, we were grateful that I still had a bag of this trail mix in the trunk. We were sufficiently depleted so that there was enough sugar to give us energy, but not so much that we had the sugar high (or low). HOWEVER, much as we like this, it needs to be "cut" by adding salted peanuts or sunflower seeds. It really is quite sweet, in part because there are too many raisins and not enough dried apples. Although the pieces are smaller than what I'd prefer, I still find it to be a satisfactory emergency mix.

The higher ratio of raisins to the papaya, pineapple, and cranberries is understandable from a business standpoint, but not entirely acceptable from the consumer side.

All and all, it's a fair-good mix, but not as good as some of Emerald's others. It's why we've also stocked up for the coming summer with Emerald Harmony Deluxe Fruit N Nut Trail Mix AND Emerald Harmony Sunflower Kernels roasted/Salted. That, of course, raises the price of this trail mix.

My first few bags were mostly unbroken nuts. The last bag I got had a lot of broken cashews. Also, these are a little too salty for my taste.  Admittedly, I don't normally eat salt. The lone exceptions are nuts and corn. I mix these with unsalted cashews I buy elsewhere. They are fresh tasting and crunchy.

These bars are OK if you are looking for a gluten free vegan fruit and nut bar, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them good tasting, and can't see myself buying more.

Basically, they taste like blueberries and nuts glued together with syrup, with a lot of crunch.  I found it unpleasantly dry, but thought that other than that, the taste was reasonably good.

Each bar is 180 calories, so they make a decent snack, and I thought it was reasonably filling.

not to bad.  Ended up being the go to food on the last day of the hike.  You have to cook them forever.

Nice chunks of dried pineapple.  Not crazy about the sugary coating on the outside but I suppose that is to keep them from sticking together.

This was definitely a fruit mix with variety with the dried starfruit and kiwi.  That is about one of the only positive things I can say about it.  Its far too sweet for someone who typically doesn't have an issue with sugar and some pieces were ok but others were extremely hard and dry.  When looking at it, it doesn't really look like a high quality fruit mix.  It reminds me of a generic package of dried fruit that you would find at a convenience store.  Just with a lot more sugar.

This brand of watermelon rind pickles met my expectations.  I found them to be a bit too syrupy, too sweet, but that's the nature of the product and I've rarely found any that weren't like that.  My solution is to empty the syrup, run cold water into the jar and put them in the refrigerator.  This lessens the too-sweet impact, and they're just right.

These are good if you are in a hurry to get something in the tummy, but you'd better have some coffee or milk to help wash them down as they are, in my opinion, too dry to be eaten by themselves.  That keeps me from saying they are good to have a breakfast you can grab on the go.  I do not find them to be terribly sweet as some have stated, but they do contain more sugar than what most dieticians would recommend for a "healthy breakfast".  Containing apples and oatmeal doesn't mean it meets the criteria of a vigilant dietary purist, but then anything that comes out of a factory, individually wrapped & put into a cardboard box shouldn't be expected to do so.  If you are watching your family's sugar intake, you probably should not purchase these and stick with non-manufactured foods.  (Those who are concerned about additives and such definitely should)  For me, they are okay from time to time and even make a quite satisfying dessert when warmed.

These are ok to snack on.  The flavor is fine but do not expect to find all the almonds and cranberries shown in the photo.

What's not to love?  Salted Planters peanuts, ready to go.  I take a pack on my bike rides for a little salt and protein.

This is a great-tasting treat that accompanies us hiking and biking as a pick-me-up.  It provides energy but not sugar-shock.  It's also great as a snack, even when not justified by more miles of trail to cover.

My biggest complaint is an uneven mix of the various nuts with most of the selection consisting of Almonds followed by Cashews. I like both of those varieties, but, I ordered MIXED nuts. More than one or two Brazil, Walnut, Pecan, and Pistachios would be welcomed. I eat them daily as a snack with a fruit instead of foods with white flour or sugar for medical reasons beside the fact that I actually like them.

I got these because I needed something that I could take with me for a snack on the go. (I used to take packs of crackers and such but have started trying to adopt a primal diet so that is out now.) It is a little sweet, salty, and overall very tasty. As a bonus I have friends with family members who have nut allergies who have tried them and really like that they are a trail mix option for their family. I did leave a pack in my car in case I needed a snack, and after a mildly warm-ish day I took them out and ended up squeezing the chocolate-coated gooey chunks out to eat it. I didn't think it would be warm enough to melt them, but maybe without all of the processed stabilizers they melted easier??? Not sure... But the gooey mess was still tasty.

Approximately half the contents of this one pound bag of mixed nuts are peanuts. The remainder (estimated) are almonds (20 percent), cashews (13 percent), Brazil nuts (8 percent), hazelnuts (5 percent) and pecans (4 percent.) Sometimes mixed nut assortments that include peanuts are dominated by that flavor with most of the other nuts tasting a bit like peanuts but that was not noticeable with this brand.

The bag contains 3 3/4 cups of salted (sea salt) nuts. For people watching their sodium, per 1/4 cup serving the level is 115 mg. And for people with sensitivities, the product may use soybean oil in processing and/or canola, peanut or sunflower oil. The nuts are packed on equipment shared with milk, egg, wheat, other tree nuts and soy.

The peanuts and cashews are mostly halves but the rest of the nuts are largely whole. Fresh tasting, they are delicious to eat alone or for use in candy or baking. The best by date on the bag I received is five months in the future.

A tasty shredding of dried squid, a neat snack if you're feeling adventurous. As some have pointed out, it's a little sweeter than you might expect, and that can be good or bad depending on your taste preferences. That isn't to suggest, though, it's sweet like candy, certainly not sugary, it's just noticeable. I feel it's balanced about by the saltier "ocean"-ish taste you also get.

It's quite chewy, not as tough as jerky, but enough you might make your jaw sore if you munch too long. I also wouldn't recommend eating it one setting, it's a snack to be savored (at least for the price you pay here AND shipping).

Overall, pretty darn good depending on how you like your squid.
