Dehydrated pineapple is a tasty snack, topping or ingredient that is low in calories but rich in vitamins and minerals. The natural sweetness and chewiness make dehydrated pineapple the perfect stand-in for candy when a craving strikes. The dehydrating process does not detract from the pineappleâs nutrient value. Provided you eat it in moderation, dehydrated pineapple is a healthy addition to anyoneâs diet.
.
Dehydrated pineapple is available both sweetened and unsweetened. Opt for unsweetened -- sweetened pineapple is high in calories and is not as healthy. The natural sugars of unsweetened pineapple balance the fruitâs tanginess. One serving of dehydrated pineapple is 1.5 ounces or about 1/3 cup of loosely packed cubes. You can eat pineapple cubes on their own, toss them with a serving of nuts or grains, stir them into hot cereal or even use the dried pineapple in cookies.
Monitoring your calories is the most important factor for weight loss, gain or maintenance. Each serving of unsweetened, dehydrated pineapple contains 110 calories, or just over 5 percent of a healthy 2,000-calorie diet. For comparison, you eat 200 calories in an equal-sized serving of sweetened, dehydrated pineapple -- for that many calories, you could nearly double your helping of unsweetened.
