I think there are only so many people out there who can actually get excited by something so trivial as sun-dried tomatoes that are actually dried and not swimming in oil. I think it's mainly because I was able to find what I
wanted rather than the item itself. In any case, one day for some unknown reason, I was struck with the desire of hunting for dry-preserved sun-dried tomatoes. I've never bought them before, and I was surprised when I managed to find some at the local supermarket. That night, I reconstituted some in water, and braised it with some onions and lamb. Yum! For lunch the next day, I steamed some vegetables and added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Yum again! Nothing more than tomatoes and some salt, they're really packed with flavour. Definitely a happy and satisfied person.

!!! I have looked around forever for non-oil packed sun-dried tomatoes ever since I had some on a salad (I think it was at the Wexner Center, actually) For some reason I like the drier, almost raisiny texture, I think the flavor pops more. But everything I find is oil-packed. Infinitely frustrating.

Are you serious?! There's no dry ones anywhere near you? Have you tried Wild Oats, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, or Fresh Market? I would think even Kroger (maybe only Marketplace) would have it. When I found them, they were in the same aisle but not the same area. Of course, every store varies, but it might be a similar case? Best of luck looking!
