The two pound pouch bags come complete with the story of where the fruit originated from along with the flavor profile, and links to recipes. The crisp-clear viewing window is a key element of the bags and helps to show the consumer the unique fruit held inside.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p> The pouches are great for grab and go with smaller fruit for snacking on, and can be reused as lunch bags, while being shared with friends and neighbors.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>The bags offer great sales tools for introducing consumers to these special varieties without "huge sticker shock" and can be retailed with comparable pricing to the three pound bags of everyday varieties. The program also helps to educate consumers on the benefits of organic fruit. The Daisy Girl™ pouch bags will be available for both organic Gala and Fuji apples.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://www.cmiapples.com/retailer/apples" target="_new"> CMI </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
