Several "dried fruits" are really more like candied fruits (i.e. lots of sugar to preserve them) in their most readily available forms.  Pineapple, ginger, papaya, and mango come to mind immediately.

Point well taken. I knew they were extra sweet and had sugar added but I still think they're a better alternative than brown/white sugar IF you have a need for sweet.  Your freeze dried alternative is a great choice for those of us who try to avoid sugar.

I like a little Cinnamon on my oatmeal. I also like a little hint of Cinnamon in my morning coffee. I add a few shakes of ground spice to my drip coffee. Cinnamon, like Ginger has well documented health properties. In fact compared to some other well known healthy spices, it's a Super Spice.
