Dried fruit is very nutritious. Dried Fruits and Nuts Supplier A piece of dried fruit has almost as many nutrients as fresh fruit, but is denser in smaller volumes. In terms of weight, dried fruit has about three and a half times as much fiber, vitamins and minerals as fresh fruit. But there is an exception to vitamin C: during the drying process of the fruit, its vitamin C content is significantly reduced. In general, dried fruit is high in fiber and a good source of antioxidants, especially polyphenols.

But dried fruit is one of the topics that is still being debated:

Dried fruits and added sugar

In industry, to make some dried fruits sweeter and tastier, corn syrup or sugar is added to them before drying, especially for sour fruits such as cherries or cranberries. This extra sugar is immediately absorbed by the body and raises blood sugar, and after a short time you will experience a drop in energy. It has been proven time and time again that excess sugar has bad effects on health and increases the risk of obesity, heart disease and even cancer.

Dried fruits and natural sugars

All fruits have a natural sugar that is either fructose or glucose. These natural sugars are much better than refined sugars, but if you do not clean your teeth well, they can lead to tooth decay. The sugar in fresh fruits is concentrated during the drying process, because most of the weight and volume of a fresh fruit is from its juice, and when it dries, there will be more sugar per gram of fruit.

When you compare fresh fruit with dried fruit in terms of volume, you see that dried fruit has more sugar and calories than fresh fruit. For example, you can fit about 30 grapes in a measuring cup; But if the same grapes dry out, you can put more than 250 raisins in the same cup.

Dried fruits and sulfites

Some growers use dried fruits as sulfite preservatives, which makes the dried fruits look more attractive and do not fade over time. This method is especially useful for raisins and apricots. Some people may be allergic to sulfite or may have abdominal pain, skin rashes and asthma attacks. It is better to choose dried fruits that are brown or gray instead of bright and shiny.

Also, dried fruit that is not properly stored and packaged may be contaminated with aflatoxin and other toxic compounds.
