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
