Diet, Nutrition and SupplementationPost here for supplement reviews or nutritional advice. If you're trying to get "ripped abz" THIS is where you should be.
I believe those lose water-soluble vitamins (like vitamin C) because those decline during long-term storage anyway, with or without the dehydration. I'm not sure about the other nutrients.
Drying increases the fiber per serving, though.

I am not sure about how the dehydration process works. Like obviously the water molecules are expelled as vapour but i am not sure if they carry any of the water soluable vitamins w/ them through the 2ndary bonding holding them together. My hunch is that they probably stay in the fruit but the drying process problem isnt the best for leaving them in a usable form.
Ok, I'll do some more looking around, but I'm not a big fan of too many fruits. About the only ones I like are Granny Swith apples, though I'll blend up cherries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries into my oats when I have that.
Only because we eat more of the fruit when eating dried fruit. 2 dried apricots are not satisfying, but 2 fresh ones can be. Same fiber, though.
Decades ago my wife dried ten or twenty pounds of bananas. My eight year old son had an overnight guest, and the next day he ate the whole batch, with very little help from our son. My wife, when she returned him home, warned the parents we did not know the dangers of eating that many dried bananas. We had images of the entire digestive tract stopped up with semi reconstituted bananas. But there seemed to be no ill affects. Wild.

Yeah, I was just too lazy to write all that.
