Fruits and vegetables exposed to the air always loose some moisture to their surrounding environment through evaporation. While still on the tree/vine, that moisture is replenished by the plant, and the fruit or vegetable maintains a healthy equilibrium. After the fruit/vegetable is picked, it no longer has a source of water to replace the moisture lost to evaporation, and it therefore become dry.
