Fruits secs, or dried fruits, are nutrient-dense snacks derived from fresh fruits through a dehydration process that removes water content while retaining most of their naturally occurring nutrients. Popular varieties include apricots, figs, raisins, dates, and prunes, widely consumed across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines. Packed with fiber, vitamins, and essential minerals like potassium and iron, they support digestion, energy production, and overall health. Dried fruits are also rich in antioxidants, which help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. However, their natural sugars become concentrated during drying, increasing calorie density and glycemic impact, especially in presweetened or sulfur-treated versions. While nutritious, moderation is key to balance benefits with sugar intake. Often enjoyed as snacks, baking ingredients, or paired with nuts in trail mixes, fruits secs embody a blend of convenience, taste, and tradition.
