I believe the act of drying the fruit can cause problems, I'm not positive but I believe it can create sulphites, maybe some histamines.  I say that because all dried fruit is on my no list!? The only fruits that I can eat are fresh/canned pears and granny smith and golden delish. apples.  I am very sensitives to salicylates and histamines.  I just recently ate a johnathan apple and did okay.(flushed a little)
Anyone know about drying fruit??

Commercially dried fruit can be a trigger due to high levels of mold and/or bacteria, especially if it doesn't have any preservatives in it, like sulfites. Preservatives (usually sulfite based) can be a big trigger, too.  Sulfites are added to fruit that's going to be dried to preserve color.  Otherwise it turns brown.

I just bought a Nesco food dryer, and I'll see how it goes.  They suggest keeping home-dried fruit in an airtight container or plastic bag in a freezer.  They also have guidelines for safely drying fruit, such as disinfecting equipment, peeling and removing any dark spots, etc. that should minimize contamination.  

Dried fruit has less vitamin C than fresh, most of the time, because it's lost in the drying process, but putting the fruit in a solution containing vitamin C or citrus juice prior to drying will increase the amount.  There are instructions for all this on a number of websites.

I'm going to try to dry some vegetables, too.  I thought if I could have a dried vegetable and herb mix to use for soups, it would make cooking from scratch easier.  I also want dried fruit to take on hikes and to use in baking.

I can eat almost any peeled fruit, as long as it's not over-ripe, but I know a lot of other people have trouble with some.

Hi

So far I am fine with apples, grapes, blueberries, cherries and bananas.  Melon and lemon juice are supposed to be ok for us but I have not tried them yet.

I can eat limited amounts of apples, bananas, pears and blueberries. I agree dried fruit has sulfites.
