Dry fruits are beneficial in terms of nutrients
but fresh ones are topmost to me,

i love eating dry fruits with my oats, they give so much taste and sweetness !

Interesting article. Will have to look into eating dry fruits for my kids. They have become picky eaters.

You should! My daughter is SO picky, but she loves her dried strawberries and bananas. Easy to make a snack for her that I don't feel guilty giving her and that she will eat.

My almost 4 year old is extremely picky. He used to not be but once the toddler stage started food is the last thing he wants. Im definitely going to get some and try it.

Love dried fruits. The perfect on the go snack. I buy different choices and prepare ziploc bags to stick in my purse and have on hand whenever I am hungry. Helps me buy less transformed foods and stick to being healthier overall ! Thanks for the post !

I agree with you, nuts apart from being very rich, they have many properties and at a nutritional and vitamin level they are an excellent alternative

Very good info!, Alot of high sugar in many fruits. If youre trying to lose weight, fruit increases insulin, which hinders weightloss.
I would say, if you are healthy, and are active, this would be the way to go :-)
Personally, I've lost 45 pounds by cutting sugar and carbs.

Dries fruits have been my go-to to cut my processed sugar addiction! Switching to wholenfood plant based hasn't been easy, but dried fruits did make it a little easier. After resetting my palate, they taste so satisfyingly sweet! (and in comparison, my favourite chocolate bar now tastes over the top sweet!)

I love dried fruit. I eat in every week !
