How Healthy Are Dry Fruits?

The choice of dried fruit, which is most consumed in winter, is indeed different. But how healthy are they?

Dry fruit is a rich source of antioxidants, folic acid, and vitamins from group B.

A study conducted in 13,000 people showed that respondents who consumed dried fruit had better intake of nutrients than those who did not eat dried fruit.

However, it should always be remembered that this type of food is rich in natural sugars, which is useful to athletes in need of rapid energy intake but that all should be careful about the amount of sugar, carbohydrates, and calories. This does not mean that you have to completely avoid dried fruits, but you have to consume in limited amounts. For example, a glass of fresh grape juice contains 23 grams [23 g] of sugar, until the same cup of dried fruit contains 116 grams or five times more.

Nutritionist Lori Zinin explained to CNN that people without diabetes were recommended by half a glass of dried fruit.

Dry fruit is often a good opportunity for breakfast by consuming it with yogurt or plenty of fruit, and it can be a light qualitative snack,
