Dried Fruit

I bought a bag of tropical fruit among the fruits are pineapples and raisins.

A lot of the pineapple slices are stuck together and the raisins come out in clumps of about 5 or 6 raisins.

I know the only thing I can do is pull them apart.  I am wondering if there is something I can use to keep the slices from getting stuck together if I put the slices back in the package?

Dry them a bit further so they are not so sticky?

I believe commercial dried fruits use oil to reduce sticking, so that might be worth trying.

I used to buy dried organic diced dates that were coated with oat flour. That really helped. Better than the oil Kevin mentioned, or a sugar coating which is also common with commercially processed fruit.

Thanks, Kevin and Leigh

As it turns out the pineapple doesn't stick to anything once they are pulled apart.

The raisins turned out to be cranberries. I wondered why they were so tart! Too hard to pull apart from each other without becoming a mess. I am thinking of rolling the clumps in either sugar or powdered sugar, would that work?

I might try taking some clumps out and leaving them on a tray like I do to dehydrate herbs to see if that helps.

Chopped dates come covered in rice flour here so since oat flour was also mentioned I guess any type of flour would probably work.

I found these guys couple of months back. Their products are truly homemade and organic.
