In the states, even the majority of plain, "adult-marketed" dried fruits have oil and sugar added, which is terrible IMO. I've always assumed oil is added to allow for higher temps without burning, and therefore quicker dry times -- just a theory. A dehydrator has been on my want-list for a little while now because of the ubiquity of added sugar and oil.
- danudey 9y agoMy wife has been making cinnamon apple slices with our dehydrator, and our 2-year-old son loves them (on the occasions where I don't eat an entire bag before he gets to them). They're a much better way than juice to get a snack in, and while they still contain the same sugars, they also have all the fibre as well. We soak them in lemon juice to keep them from turning brown while dehydrating, but since he loves lemon juice (and will drink it out of the bottle if we leave the fridge unlocked), this is a pretty huge selling point for him.
