I’m going to try this recipe out again, and this time reduce the bake time and see if it comes out tasting any different (I’ll then adjust my original post if that’s the case).

Part of the reason why fruit is good for you, is because of its water content. Something that these bars and other foods like it don’t have much of. You spread out the sugar content when its in its natural form and eat less of it. When you dehydrate and concentrate fruit, it also concentrates the sugar load.

Why not just eat a banana or apple for christ’s sake?
Anyone who thinks these things are good for you is deluding themselves.

The only thing they really have going for them is that they are a little LESS UNHEALTHY than say a Mars bar or something of that nature. If you’re eating these things thinking your doing your body a favour, you’re not. If you’re eating them instead of a chocolate bar or junk like that, I guess thats a step in the right direction.

These are no where near a replacement for real fruit and vegetables.
