What the AI looks for in Dried Pineapples
- Added sugar
- Most chewy dried pineapple is sugar-infused; 'unsweetened' chewy pineapple is fibrous and tart. This is the biggest difference between products.
- Form
- Chewy rings and chunks suit trail mix; freeze-dried suits snacking, cereal and smoothies. Freeze-dried pineapple dissolves in moisture.
- Sulfites
- Check the label for sulfur dioxide. Light fruits are often sulfited.
Brands that matter
- Natierra: Freeze-dried fruit, no added sugar.
What to avoid
- Candied, dyed pineapple chunks sold as dried fruit.
