Bright colours and a “fruit” label can make packaged dehydrated fruit look like a healthy snack, but the ingredient list often tells a different story.
Many commercially available options may contain added sugar, artificial colours and preservatives, turning a naturally nutritious fruit into a highly processed snack. When choosing dried fruit, look for simple, unsweetened options without added colours or sugars. And whenever possible, fresh seasonal fruit remains a great choice.
Don’t shop with your eyes alone. Turn the pack around, read the ingredients and know what you’re actually eating.
