How to choose organic dried fruit
Decide first whether you want added sugar. Fruits like Medjool dates, mango slices, figs, and apricots are sweet on their own with nothing added, while items such as the tart cherries and banana chips are sweetened or fried, which changes the sugar and calorie profile. For baking, dates and figs work as natural sweeteners and bind well; for snacking and trail mixes, goji berries, mango, and coconut hold up nicely. Unsulphured fruit (like these apricots) is darker than the bright-orange sulphured kind, which is normal. Check the ingredient list on each product page if you are watching for added sugar or oils.
Frequently asked questions
Is all of this dried fruit organic?
Yes. Every product on this page is labeled organic by Country Life Natural Foods, meaning the fruit was grown under organic certification. Confirm the exact certification on the product page if that matters for your needs.
Which of these have no added sugar?
The Medjool dates, Turkish apricots, both figs, mango slices, goji berries, coconut, and date coconut roll are not sweetened beyond the fruit itself. The tart cherries are sweetened with organic sugar, and the banana chips are sweetened and fried in coconut oil.
How long does dried fruit last?
Stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, most dried fruit keeps for six to twelve months. Refrigerating it extends shelf life and helps softer fruits like dates and figs stay moist.
What can I use organic dried fruit for?
Dates and figs work as natural sweeteners in baking and smoothies, apricots and mango are good lunchbox and trail snacks, and goji berries and coconut add texture to granola and oatmeal. Figs and dates also pair well on a cheese board.
