quick question: is dried fruit any good for you? does it count as part of the 5 a day?

[LadySanders]

have just discovered dried pineapple which is delicious... its unsweetened, but does the drying process take away any of the nutritional value?

it does coun t but high in sugar

yup, packet says 48g of 100g is sugar which is what worried me slightly! so i may as well eat a packet of minstrels instead and have some fresh pineapple

yes it counts but it only counts once regardless of how much of it you eat (same as fruit juice)
