Dried fruits are a nutritious, energy-dense snack made by removing water from fresh fruits through drying methods like sun-drying or dehydration. Common varieties include raisins, apricots, dates, and figs, originating from regions like the Middle East, Mediterranean, and Asia. Packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as potassium and iron, dried fruits can support digestion, heart health, and sustained energy levels. Their naturally occurring sugars provide a sweet alternative to processed candies, making them a popular addition to baked goods, trail mixes, and global cuisines. However, some dried fruits may contain added sugars or preservatives, which reduce their nutritional benefits. Due to their concentrated calorie content, portion control is essential, especially for those managing their weight or blood sugar levels. Choose unsweetened and minimally processed options for the healthiest pick, and enjoy them as a versatile, nutrient-rich complement to meals or snacks.
