Fruits that Taste Even Better Dried

Fruit is a healthy snack, but what if you are craving something crispy or chewy? Dried fruit is the perfect way to satisfy your taste for savory crisps and sweet treats — plus it’s super healthy and chock-full of dietary fiber! Some fruits might even taste better when dried, but we’ll let you be the judge of that! Here are three dried fruits we think everyone should have in the cupboards to enjoy as a snack, mix them into oatmeal or cereal, or add to your favorite baked goods for an extra hit of sweetness.

Smartie Stop — Sweetened Banana Chips

As soft and creamy as bananas are when fresh, banana chips are the exact opposite. Perfectly crispy that you’ll feel like you are munching on a bag of potato chips, these sweetened banana chips will remind you of sugary candy without making you feel weighed down or hurting your teeth. Delicious eaten on their own or as part of a trail mix, banana chips are also a great way to convince picky kids to enjoy fruit.

Sanmac Foods — Dried Mango Slices

Mangos are delicious when fresh, and offer plenty of juicy refreshing flavor that pairs perfectly with sweets and savory foods alike. However, fresh mango can sometimes be a little tart and sour, which can be uncomfortable for anyone with a sensitivity to sour or citrus fruits. Dried mango slices are unbelievably sweet, and taste almost like they have been crystalized in their own sugar. A delicious handheld snack, dried mango is also great to take on the go!

Nutstop.com — Diced Dried Pineapple

Like mango, pineapple becomes even sweeter once it’s dried. Diced into bite-size pieces for super convenient munching. Dried pineapple is especially tasty baked into spice cakes, cookies, or added to warm cereals since this sweet fruit adds plenty of sugar and tropical flavor to anything it touches.
