What it is
Dried pineapple is made from fresh pineapple that has had most of its water removed through drying. This process concentrates the natural sugars and flavors of the fruit. It is often sold as whole pieces, chunks, or crushed.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dried pineapple primarily as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer. Its chewy texture and tropical taste make it a popular addition to snack mixes, granola bars, baked goods, and trail mixes. It can also be used in savory dishes to add a touch of sweetness and acidity.
Health notes
Dried pineapple is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of dietary fiber and vitamin C. While generally considered safe in typical food amounts, excessive consumption of dried fruit can contribute to high sugar intake due to concentrated natural sugars. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated pineapple and its components.
Allergen info
Pineapple is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
