Best place to buy dried fruit?

5 replies

Inspired by the scrummy but rather over-priced Graze boxes, Dh & I have started trying to do our own. However, dried fruit is really expensive!

Where is the best place to buy reasonably large packets of nice (not too shrivelled!) dried cranberries, raisins, sultanas etc?

Thanks!

The best place is a Turkish guy that runs a dried fruit stall at Borough Market. The selection!The quality!

But failing that, health food shops are normally a good bet.

Our health food shop is great too.

Thanks. Will have a look. I've only looked in Holland & Barrett and was a bit taken aback by the prices for really pretty small bags, but clearly didn't look hard enough.

Where I live there is a stall in the market in the city centre which is fab and (relatively!) cheap. If you have a market near you there might be something similar? I buy loads of dried mango, pineapple and my new discovery-dried PEACHES (yum!) as well as simpler things like sultanas and apricots and make up bags to take out with me to stop me buying rubbish whilst out. I'm fed up of paying through the nose for Graze boxes too but can't seem to find it in me to cancel them!

Aldi has reasonably priced and good quality dried fruit with quite a selection. Lots of nuts too.
