Answer 1

the processes for dehydrating and juicing are very different. With dehydration you are evaporating the water content away. With juicing you are typically pressing the liquids out of the fruit. Even a prune has to have some liquid content left otherwise it would be dust or a rock, so it can still be juiced to some extent.
