favourite dried fruit?

voted apricots

it's medjool dates vs. figs for me

i am pro-dried fruit in general and would enjoy pretty much any of these but i'd be lying if i voted for anything but the ever-obvious raisins

raisins are boring. they are the mainstream of the dried fruits

dried bananas:

or

the former are delicious, the latter - wtf are they made of wood?

PAPAYAS

what, no mangos?!

came here to express my outrage at the lack of dried mangoes, infused with sulfur dioxide

of this list, it's obviously apricots

The best dates (Medjool, etc) are unbelievable.

If we're talking basic supermarket stuff, pineapple.

Apricots in a heartbeat.

Between apricots and figs for me. Raisins obv are the most versatile, but sort of plebian bcz of that.

dried bananas. i sort of hate a lot of dried fruit in general. e.g. mango is my favourite fruit but i hate dried mango. even dates that i do like i can't eat more than one or two or they start to taste sickly to me.

Mangos with chili powder or bananas with chili powder, but I'll go with prunes

Sultanas, raisins second.

cherries

^^^ otm, dried cherries are so good. But from this list, I'll vote apricots.

God dried fruit is like the best thing in the world

Banananananas

Cranberries!!

appreciate the poll and thread, but nostormo, this list is anemic

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

cranberries cherries raisins

You bastard, you forgot dried cherries.

Apricots, then.

I've never had dates or figs, though, fyi, except in Fig Newtons. They kind of look like cockroaches, which puts me off.

Prunes. But biting down on stone fragments that v occasionally remain in stoned prunes is dud.

c'mon! cherries! Voted pleb raisins.

cranberries are pretty great dried too.

Tempted to lock this thread in 7 hours because the lack of cherries is too much of an outrage.

peaches vs. calymyrna figs for me. i freakin' love dates though. and thank you for not listing "craisins", a marketing name gimmick that drives me...bananas

Apricots.

A best tinned fruit poll would definitely go to peaches for me.

Dried cherries can be a touch too bitter sometimes.

I've never seen dried cherries. Are they common?

I like 'em sour.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Yoghurt covered bananas.

on a dried cranberry kick lately

dried peaches got no votes but they're actually really good

apricots for always, even the not-as-good whole/turkish ones

also: apples, prunes, cranberries

yes I said prunes

Dried cranberries are so good in a salad.

otm

Dates and figs. Used to eat tons of'em. Now on diet so none

I eat dried crans at work all the time, theyre basically the only fruit I eat, dried or otherwise.

They are also excellent mixed into plain porridge. No need for sugar.

figs

this recipe is dope btw

I love fresh figs, but for some reason I don't like them as much dried.

Tomatoes

coconut!
