they swell because the water and moisture that was removed during drying is being put back, so the water rehydrates the flesh
When fruits and vegetables are dried, the water content is significantly reduced, causing them to shrink and lose their original shape. When these dried items are placed in water, osmosis occurs, allowing water to re-enter the plant cells. This rehydration process causes the cells to swell and regain their original structure, as the cell walls expand to accommodate the absorbed water.
because there's less water in it.
Fruits may be eaten raw or dried. Decoction: dried berries with boiling water, .5 cup (100 ml) daily.
you just answered your own question because they are dry so you are rehydrating them meaning your adding water (moisture ) be it from sauces or what ever of liquid you use.

Preserves are usually boiled in a jar. Dried fruit is dehydrated and dusted with sulfur compounds or other preservatives.
Saltwater: a mixture of water and salt where the salt dissolves in the water. Trail mix: a mixture of nuts, dried fruits, and sometimes chocolate or seeds.
Dried or dry fruit is fruit that has had its moisture removed as a form of preservation by dehydrating.
Dried fruits and beans swell when cooked because the heat causes the starches and fibers in them to absorb water, which results in an expansion of their size. This rehydration process helps to soften the texture and make them easier to digest.
It's important to pack non-perishable food items that are easy to open and ready to eat, such as canned goods, granola bars, and dried fruits. Make sure to include enough food for everyone in your household and consider dietary restrictions and preferences when selecting items. Additionally, pack a supply of clean drinking water to stay hydrated.
Sparkling water usually doesn't come in those flavors so I don't think so.
