Spiced Dehydrated Pineapple Rings

These pineapple rings are cut thick, tossed with a light dusting of chili and rock salt, and slow-dried at low temperature until they turn chewy and deeply concentrated in flavor. Unlike freeze-drying, dehydration keeps a soft, dense bite — think dried mango’s cousin, with a tangy-sweet pineapple core and a gentle kick of spice on the edges. We use 100% pineapple with no added sugar and no preservatives; the sweetness you taste is entirely from the fruit itself, intensified through slow moisture removal. These rings hold up well in a bag or lunchbox without turning mushy or sticky. Store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight, and they’ll stay chewy and fresh for up to two months unopened.
