Does anyone know?
If you puree around 20 strawberries and put it in the oven for a few hours, does the nutritional information change?

You'd only be losing the water content, so no it wouldn't change0

Since fruits lose water (and therefore volume) during the drying process, their nutrient, calorie, and sugar content become concentrated once they are dried. When you eat a handful of dried fruit, you are consuming more calories than you would if you ate that same amount of fresh fruit but in your case 20 will be 20..0

As was said when you take away water weight you get more calories per gram serving than fresh.
Make a recipe in MFP. Weigh your strawberries before you dry/cook them. Then weigh again after you dry them. Make the number of servings in the recipe. the number of grams total of the final product. Then just log using your recipe and the number of gram servings you are going to eat.0
