What "unsweetened" means
Unsweetened dried fruit contains only the natural sugars present in the fruit itself (fructose and glucose). No cane sugar, honey, fruit juice concentrate, or other sweeteners are added during processing. The fruit is still sweet because ripe fruit contains its own sugars. Unsweetened does not mean low in sugar: the natural sugar in the fruit is still present. It simply means nothing extra was put in.
Ways to use unsweetened dried fruit
Unsweetened dried fruit works in granola, oatmeal, salads, and savory grain dishes where you want the fruit flavor without added sweetness. It also works in baking, though the result will be less sweet than a recipe made with sweetened fruit. As a snack, it gives the full fruit flavor with nothing extra added.
How to store unsweetened dried fruit
Keep unsweetened dried fruit sealed in a cool, dry place. Because it lacks the preserving effect of added sugar, it can harden faster than sweetened varieties. Refrigerating in a sealed container after opening extends freshness and maintains texture.
