1 April 2013-Dry fruits are healthy because they have the nutrients of a fruit in the concentrated form. The best part about dry fruits is that they give you a boost of energy but are not very fattening. One of the main health benefits of dry fruits is that they are great snacks.
You can easily snack on some healthy dry fruits without putting on weight. Moreover, dry fruits are nutritious but not filling. A handful of healthy dry fruits will give you lots of energy but will not kill your appetite for lunch. Both fresh fruit and dry fruits have their own health benefits.
Fresh fruits have more moisture and water content. They also have higher levels of natural sugars that are very healthy. However fresh fruits get spoiled easily and do not have a very long shelf life. Moreover, fresh fruits are seasonal. You won’t find mangoes in winter because it is a summer fruit.
These constraints of fresh fruits can be made up for by dry fruits. If you sun dry mangoes and store them, they will last for all of winter until the next crop of mangoes arrive. And most of the health benefits of dry fruits are restored from the original fresh fruits. That is dry fruits are nutritious and also easy to preserve.
