Variety pack might make the very high price for dried fruit palatable, at least to try once.

How is something ’gently’ dehydrated? :thinking: I have a dehydrator and I am positive there is no ā€˜gentle’ setting.

I used to get the mango and they are delicious, but this batch is a little too pricey.

On their website, they say,

ā€œThis refers simply to the process undertaken to carefully dehydrate our fruit to preserve the maximum retention of natural flavor, vitamins, and minerals.ā€

:roll_eyes:

However, there is something called MicroDried which is more of a commercial scale process. Apparently, this process gives fruit a much better ā€œmouthfeelā€ vs the standard shriveled and or chip versions we get the home dehydrators.

ā€œMicroDried proprietary, patented drying technology includes a low impact radiant energy vacuum (REV) system for dehydration, which maintains the most natural vitamins, minerals, polyphenols and other nutrients in the fruit and vegetables while retaining more of the size, flavor, texture and color characteristics when compared to other traditional drying methods.ā€

I’m guessing low impact = gentle?

The one package that lists citrus acid doesn’t say no preservatives in the description.

So most dehydrators are just tumble dryers? What types of impact go into dehydration?!

:joy: No idea. But I can remember a friend’s home dehydrated apple slices that were dry and shriveled but sort of chewy and not in a good way. They looked like they had been through some things…
