It seems that dried fruits such as apricots, figs, raisins, etc. are the best choice for a snack with a distinct flavor and rich in nutrients at the same time. But is it possible for the fruit to preserve the nutrients it contains when dried?
If you want to eat a delicious, delicious and rich snack, then you should go to the dried fruit market and choose what you like. As these small pieces are known for their delicious and useful flavor at the same time, raisins may be the most popular types, followed by apricots, figs and plums, in addition to mangoes, pineapples, cranberries and apples.
Dried fruits are fruits that have almost all of their water content removed through drying methods. Fruits shrink during this process, leaving small, energy-dense dried fruits that are easier to store for a much longer time than fresh fruits.
Although dried fruits lose vitamin C when dried, they are a good source of nutrients, such as fiber and potassium, which many people lack in their diet. It also contains other nutrients such as minerals and fatty acids, including polyphenols and carotenoids, according to what was published by the American (Healthline) website.
However, at the same time, there are concerns about excessive consumption leading to increased caloric intake because dried fruits are a "energy dense" form of fruit.
In a study conducted at Pennsylvania State University in the United States, researchers revealed that eating dried fruit tends to increase the overall consumption of the fruit, rather than replacing other forms of fruit. Thus, increasing the consumption of dried fruits may help people increase fruit intake. According to what was published by the American (Medical News Today) site.
"In our study, people who ate dried fruits had higher calories but had lower BMI and waist circumference, indicating that they were more physically active," said co-author Penny Chris Etherton, professor of nutrition science at Evan Pugh University.
