Dried Fruit for Energy?

So, on the one hand ... I'm trying to lose weight. On the other hand, I understand the value of glucose boosts during a ride. What is your thought on carrying dried fruit in your bicycle bag?

Any issues of carrying dried fruit all day in your bag ... in the summer ... when the temperature is 80+ degrees?

Also, I've looked at the labels on dried food servings at supermarkets. Every packaged serving of dried fruit that I've come across show a high percentage of sugar added to the dried fruit. Is there a good source (online perhaps?) of dried fruit that has no sugar (or just a smidgen) added?
