Title: Why is dried fruit always so sugary?
Post by: Deicide on October 08, 2008, 02:06:12 AM: I bought some dried cranberries the other day and am carb loading with them right now...I was expecting a more bitter taste but they are very sugary; the same applies to all the dried fruit I have had...anyone know why?

Could also be added sugar, of course.
