Dried fruit is fruit that has been dried, either naturally or through use of a machine, such as a food dehydrator. Raisins, prunes, and dates are examples of popular dried fruits. Other fruits such as apples, apricots, bananas, cranberries, figs, kiwi, mangoes, pawpaw, peaches, pears, persimmons, pineapples, strawberries, and tomatoes may also be dried. In addition to dried whole fruits, fruit purée can be dried to make fruit leather. Drying preserves fruit, even in the absence of refrigeration, and significantly lengthens its shelf life. When fresh fruit is unavailable, impractical, or out of season, dried fruit can provide an alternative. It is often added to baking mixes and breakfast cereals. Like fresh fruit, dried fruit can be rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, pantothenic acid and dietary minerals calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, copper, manganese.12 Vitamin C in the food. Commercially prepared dried fruit may contain added sulfur dioxide which can trigger asthma in susceptible individuals3; dried fruits without sulfur dioxide are also available. The sulfur is added to make the color of the product more appealing. Organic dried fruit is produced without sulfur dioxide, which results in dark fruit and a flavor more closely resembling the fresh fruit from which it came. The color of some fruits can also be fixed to some extent, with minimal impact on flavour, by treating the freshly cut fruit with a preparation rich in Vitamin C e.g., a mixture of water and lemon juice for a few minutes prior to drying. In recent years there has been a tendency towards dried fruit that is sold as ready to eat. This fruit has to be stored in sealed containers to preserve it. Notably prunes and apricots prepared in this way lack the positive chewy texture of properly dried fruit.
