Does dried fruit go bad?

So, think of dried fruit like a long-lasting buddy in your pantry. It won't spoil as quickly as the fresh stuff, but it's not invincible. Keeping it in a sealed container, away from too much air and moisture, and in a cool, shady spot. Watch out for any funky changes—mold, strange smells, or odd colors. And hey, check its "best by" date, just to be sure. Treat your dried fruit right, and it'll be a tasty companion for quite a while!
