Why does dried fruit (pineapple, cranberries) not have the same nutrition (vitamins C and A) as unprocessed?
Category: nutrition vitamins
I bought a bag of dried pineapple and it lists Vitamins C and A as 0%. Whole pineapple is full of the stuff. There’s no sugar, and citric acid is listed as the only other ingredient.
Cooking fruits and vegetables deteriorates their nutritional content. Drying is a form of cooking.
Also, some dried fruits are first processed to remove their juices for sale elsewhere, and a lot of the nutrients are drained with the juice.

drying out the fruits takes away the juice, hence where the nutrition is… its like taking the blood out of our bodies…

your dried pineapples don’t have sugar? why the heck are you eating it? dired fruits are something like candy, or snacks. they aren’t eaten for health benefits.

You eat dried fruits like prunes (dried plums) for the antioxidants.
