Dried pineapple is a good source of dietary fiber, which can help to regulate digestion, promote feelings of fullness, and reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Dried pineapple is a low-fat, low-cholesterol snack that is suitable for most dietary needs.

 

Many commercial manufacturers of dried pineapple coat it with granulated sugar. Because you will eat several pieces at a time, snacking on dried pineapple is similar to eating candy. However, we do not add any sugar to our pineapple, its 100% natural. It just tastes sweeter due to the fact that the natural sugar is still there but there is less water.

 

Your unopened package of dried pineapple should last about 6-12 months if it's stored in a cool, dry place. If the dried pineapple has been opened, it's usually best to consume it within 1-2 weeks, although it may still be safe to eat for up to a month if properly stored.

 

Dried pineapple can be added to a pork or beef stew to elevate the flavor of the dish. It can also be used to add a hint of sweetness and tropical flair to rice. A chicken salad reaches new heights when dehydrated fruit such as dried pineapple chunks are added to the recipe. Keep an eye out for more ways to use dried fruit.

 

Put your dried pineapple in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, and then strain the pineapple and discard the water. The fruit will be plumper, juicier, and softer. To give your pineapple extra flavor, swap the water for fruit juice or a liquor, like rum - Malibu - my personal favourite - delicious!
