Dehydrated fruits are fruits that have had most of their water content removed through a drying process. This method helps to preserve the fruit, making it lighter and easier to store. Common dehydrated fruits include apples, bananas, and mangoes, which retain many of their nutrients and flavors despite the removal of moisture. The dehydration process can be done using various methods, such as air drying, sun drying, or using a dehydrator. Dehydrated fruits are often used as snacks, in trail mixes, or as ingredients in baked goods. They provide a convenient way to enjoy fruit without the need for refrigeration.
