Take a closer look at dried fruits and how they benefit you.
What Is Dried Fruit
As earlier stated, dried fruit is a fruit that has almost all its water
contents removed. The water contents are removed using drying methods. During the drying methods, the fruit will usually shrink, which leaves a small energy-packed dried fruit.
The most commonly used are raisins, figs, apricots, dates, and prunes. Sometimes, there are also other varieties of dried fruit that are available. They are usually available in candy form and are sugar-coated. These fruits are pineapples, cranberries, bananas, apples, and mangoes.
The advantage of dried fruits is that they can be preserved for a long time. This makes them a convenient snack. They are particularly great for long trips if refrigeration isn’t available.
Are Dried Fruits Healthy?
Dried fruits are healthy and delicious. They pack a healthy dosage of nutrients and contain the same amount of nutrients as a regular fruit. Contains up to 3.5 times the vitamins, fiber, and minerals if calculated by weight. So, one serving provides a healthy percentage of your daily recommended intake. Daily intake recommendations like minerals, vitamins, and folate.
Even though dried fruits are very healthy, they still have
shortcomings. For example, the Vitamin C level is significantly dropped compared to normal fruits. On the bright side, dried fruits contain a lot of fiber. This makes them a great source of antioxidants. The main antioxidant they have is called polyphenol.
Polyphenol comes with a lot of health benefits. Health benefits include better blood flow, improved digestion, reduced oxidative damage, and reduced risk of many health challenges.
Raisins Reduce The Risk Of Certain Diseases
When you dry grapes, what you get are grapes. Raisins aren’t lacking in potassium, fiber, and may plant compounds. Because of the low insulin index in raisins, they make excellent treats for those conscious of their blood sugar level.
Some studies show that raisins may lower blood pressure, increase the feeling of fullness, reduce inflammatory markers and improve blood sugar control. This factor reduces the risk of eaters having type 2 diabetes.
Prunes Are Natural Laxatives
When you dry plums, you get prunes. Prunes are high in nutrients packed. They are also rich in fiber, beta-carotene, and vitamin k. Prunes are known for being natural Laxatives. They are natural Laxatives because they are high in fiber and sugar alcohol. The sugar alcohol is known as sorbitol. Sorbitol is naturally found in many fruits.
