Dried fruits

Anyone a fan??

Lately I've been buying some bulk grocery on amazon, and noticed so many dried fruits!!!! I had tried some of them before at some store (whole foods or some deli I forget) but it was so expensive, like $3.99 a tiny bag...for that price, I might as well buy real fruit in little batches everyday.

Anyone like dried fruit? Why?

I really do like some, like

But I don't know if I like enough to buy 24 bags...or in the case of cherries...4 lbs!

I grew up eating Dried Mangoes and Banana Chips. I could eat those all day long.

I love dried fruit, because they are like candy to me. I like to put them in muffins and cereal if I have too many.

I am obsessed with dried fruit! I get them from my health food store with no added sugar. My favorites are banana chips, mango, and papaya.

mmm....dried mango fruit for me

Do you ladies eat the sweetened kind? Or the no sugar added tart kind?

I found some really cheap ones but they are all sweetened. It seems that the no-sugar added kinds all have the health food premium. Are they better?

i love dehydrated apples, cranberries & raisins, and bananas...but u need to be careful about banana chips...a lot of them are actually fried.

and i usually get the no sugar added kind

twin53 · Aug 6th, 2008, 04:13 PM

i prefer the non-sugared kind

I like some dried fruits such as mango. I don't like raisins, or dried cranberries /cherrys. I was buying dried mango at the grocery store, and the casheir said "This is loaded with sugar! You should get the organic kind, more expensive but with less sugar." I like 'em sugary.
