Hi Shawn,

I'm very suspicious of any commercially dried fruit.  From what I've learned,
much of it is kiln dried at high temps and is essentially cooked.  The only
dried fruit I trust any longer is that which I dry myself in my dehydrator at
105 degrees and the only fruit I dry is figs during the once a year time when
my friend (who has a prolific tree and no appetite for figs)  gives me far
more than I can eat before they start to go south.

There's my opinion on the subject!

Smiles,

Sandy
