Fruit for All

Dried fruit as a snack is nay-sayed by some who think it's too calorie/sugar dense, but when there isn't any added sugar and it's of good quality, in moderation it can be a perfectly healthy sweet tooth fix and energy boost - and many varieties (especially berries) provide a solid dose of antioxidants. SweetEnergy.com is my favorite place to get such healthful, unprocessed dried fruit in bulk - it's great to snack on or bake with. I especially love the dried, diced apricots - which I can rarely find anywhere else - and the various dried berries (especially the tart Michigan cherries and cranberries only sweetened with apple juice and no sugar). Yum!
