2024-01-08


Everyone knows that eating fresh fruits and vegetables in moderation has many health benefits.

But sometimes it's not very convenient to eat fruits,and my friends came up with a convenient and portable dried fruit.

After all,the two are quite different.

Is the nutrition of dried fruits made by dehydration and drying good?Or is it all essence left?What kind of dried fruit is the"real"dried fruit?Is the preserved fruit everyone is eating dried fruit?

1、A truly good"dried fruit"is like this

The processing techniques for dried fruits mainly include drying,vacuum dehydration,and deep frying.Different methods result in significant differences in nutrition.

The first two methods(drying or vacuum dehydration)produce dried fruits and vegetables without the need for additional sugar,oil,and other ingredients.Instead,the fruits(slices)are dehydrated and concentrated to obtain dried fruits,such as many dried dates,raisins,and other products available on the market.Many friends also use the oven to DIY dried apples and kiwifruit,which belong to this category.

For dried fruits that are simply dehydrated,although some delicate nutrients such as vitamin C,polyphenols,and other antioxidant substances may be lost to some extent,most of the nutrients are still"healthy".This belongs to the true meaning of"dried fruits"and there is still a lot of"material"inside:

Firstly,the dietary fiber in fruits,especially the dietary fiber in the peel,is still retained in this dried fruit,and dietary fiber is precious for modern people who eat more refined white rice and noodles.

Furthermore,the content of minerals such as potassium and magnesium in fruits has significantly increased.For example,the average potassium content per 100 grams of fresh grapes is 104 milligrams,while the potassium content per 100 grams of raisins is as high as 995 milligrams.Therefore,various dried fruits are one of the good sources of potassium supplementation.

In addition,some fruits with darker colors such as red,blue,and purple black are also rich in antioxidants such as anthocyanins and lycopene,which have certain health benefits,such as dried blueberries,dried black currants,and dried red grapes.

What's even more impressive about dried fruits is that after drying,the amount of tannins that can easily irritate the digestive mucosa in dried fruits decreases,making them more suitable for people with weak gastrointestinal function and a fear of the cold when eating fruits.In addition,for fitness enthusiasts who need a high carbon water diet after exercise,dried fruits are convenient for timely supplementation of sugar and some minerals,which can be a win-win situation.
