How Healthy Is Dried Fruit?

In its purest form, dried fruit is just fresh fruit
with the water removed. Dehydration, in fact, causes some nutrients
to become more concentrated.

Dried Fruit Factors

Dried fruit is recommended as one healthy choice for filling your daily fruit requirement.
Eating dried fruit is associated with lower body weight and consuming a more nutritious diet.
It delivers more fiber and minerals, and about the same amount of B vitamins, as fresh fruit.
Dried fruit retains 100 percent of the fresh fruit’s minerals.
Dried fruit is a much more nutritious snack than junk food

 

Enjoy it in a homemade dish or on its own

General Information

Dried fruits are very popular for a multitude of reasons! Eating fruit is associated with improved health and provides many of the essential minerals, vitamins, phytonutrients and fiber that you need every day. Dried fruit doesn’t spoil as quickly and is an easy snack to pack, especially for activities like hiking! Dried fruit and fresh fruit contain many of the same health benefits but differ slightly in vitamin and mineral content. Both dried and fresh fruits will supply you with antioxidants and fiber, which are beneficial for your health.

Dried fruit is a much more nutritious snack than junk foods like potato chips, chocolate bars and candy. And its nutrient content certainly beats out refined flour snacks such as crackers, cereal bars and pretzels. Dried fruit is convenient, keeps well and provides quick energy. Its texture and more intense flavor can promote variety in your diet while helping to satisfy sweet cravings in a healthy way. Replacing a few servings of fresh fruit a week with smaller portions of dried fruit can help you boost your intake of dietary fiber, potassium, iron and antioxidants.
