I don't get it. You can actually gain weight eating whole fruit? I would be anorexic if all I ate were raspberries.i have developed a slight ambivalence toward the freeze dryer. it's so nice to have all sorts of fruit on hand and i usually only eat a few pieces at a time. i really have to watch it, though. if i don't take some out and put the jar away, a few pieces sometimes turns into too many and ... for example... it is quite easy to down 2-3 whole apples (equivalent, minus all the water, but all the calories/ sugar).
