Trader Joe's sells those things in packages and they're found in the
snack section. I don't like them, but that's an entirely different
issue.

Heh. The year that I was backstage mom for the dance studio, I brought
freeze dried fruits and vegetables for a snack. The requirement for snacks
were that they were not sticky or messy. The kids wouldn't eat them. I had
a birthday party following so I brought them to the party where nobody liked
them either. The strawberries were okay. But the rest? Ick.
