Re: dried fruits
ok, so first dried (so they take the water out) and then they add back water? Interesting....
If they are sun dried (it will say so on the bag) they are probably fine. If not, then they at least must be dried at low temperatures.

Re: dried fruits
No other ingredients listed?
I think the water is added just to keep away the oxygen.
because its hard to vacuum-seal those dried fruits (due to the wrinkles).

Re: dried fruits
It does not say sun dried on the bag. It says rehydrated with water.
So definitely dried somehow, but maybe not with sulfur.
Because aytundra bought it yesterday and the price sticker was conveniently covering the "Don't be surprised by brown color..." comment.
She thought she would be eating orange coloured candy like food. It was pricy too. Costed about 1.5 dozen eggs.
If they were cheaper I might consider it as a dried fruit source, for a portable snack. However, visually they will have to work on the food.
I ended up with a bag of moosedroppings. The figs apricots and plums looked and tasted like dates. It tasted good, but visually it was yuck! Avoid the figs, they have seeds.

I am usually good at reading labels, and imagining all the worst case scenarios. But this one tripped me.
Okay I peeled off more price stickers, and now I got their website: http://fruitbliss.com/our-process/

I could have brought oranges with that money.A tundra where will we be without trees? Thannnks!

How much heat was involved in dehydrating them, thats the question.
(at least for people on the Wai diet)
Real food is usually pricy, compared to the crap that most people eat.It was pricy too.
That translates into adding preservatives and anti-oxidants.visually they will have to work on the food.
Oxidation makes the fruit look bad, but its about the taste, and how healthy it is.
In most supermarkets the fruits look very good but are not ripe and taste like crap.
Thats not what we want.
In my local Moroccan supermarket i always end up buying the ugliest fruits, which virtually always taste the best

Ah, they are steamed...Aytundra wrote:I got their website: http://fruitbliss.com/our-process/
Re: dried fruits
Steamed...100 degree C probably... heat treatment...and inflating a sundried fruit with water will take some long long long time to infuse water inside a dried fruit (It is not like they have active transport of water, or reverse transpiration)...RRM wrote:Ah, they are steamed...
