Fruit Medley Dried
Naturally sweet mix for trail mix and granola that keeps your pantry stocked year-round.
What it is
Fruit medley dried is a mix of various tropical fruits like pineapple, papaya, mango, and sometimes coconut or banana that have been dehydrated to remove moisture. The drying process concentrates the natural fruit sugars and creates a chewy, shelf-stable snack.
Flavor and texture
Sweet and tangy with intense tropical fruit flavors. The texture is pleasantly chewy and slightly sticky, with each fruit contributing its own distinct taste to the mix.
Best uses
Enjoy as a healthy snack, mix into homemade trail mix with nuts and seeds, fold into muffins or quick breads, add to oatmeal or yogurt, or chop and use in fruit salads or granola bars.
Storage & freshness
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry away from direct light.

Durations are for best quality. Safe to consume longer if no spoilage signs present.
Different fruits in the medley may have varying shelf lives - remove any pieces that show signs of deterioration to protect the rest.
Cooking tip
Soak dried fruit medley in warm water for 10-15 minutes before adding to baked goods to prevent them from drawing moisture from your batter and becoming too hard.
Interesting note
Many tropical fruits can lose up to 80% of their original weight during the drying process, which is why dried fruit flavors are so concentrated and intense compared to their fresh counterparts.
