What it is
Dried sweetened strawberries are fresh strawberries that have been processed to remove most of their water content and infused with sugar. This process typically involves washing, slicing, soaking the fruit in a sugar solution, and then drying it using methods like air drying or vacuum drying.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add dried sweetened strawberries to products to provide a sweet, chewy texture and a concentrated strawberry flavor. They are commonly found in snack mixes such as trail mix, breakfast cereals, granola bars, baked goods, and yogurt.
Health notes
As a food ingredient, dried sweetened strawberries are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They provide some vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the fruit, but also contribute added sugars to the diet. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars.
