Dried Turkish Apricot
Health Benefits of Dried Fruits
Dried apricots are often cited as one of the healthiest options when it comes to dry fruits. They contain high amounts of pectin, or soluble fiber, which can help lower cholesterol, ease constipation and improve digestion. Dried apricots also contain a good amount of potassium, which is essential for heart health. When it comes to nutrition, dry apricots are a better choice over fresh ones because they contain a higher concentration of carotenoids. Carotenoids are antioxidants that can protect you against the oxidative damage of free radicals, which can increase your risk of developing cancer and other diseases.
When it comes to nutrition, not all dried fruits are the same. Some, like raisins, contain lots of sugar but very few nutrients (except iron). Others, like dried apricots, are more nutritionally sound. A cup of dried apricots provides you with 94% of your daily requirement of vitamin A and 19% of your daily requirement of iron. Dried apricots also contain a small amount of calcium and vitamin C, as well as 9.5 grams of fiber.
Another disadvantage of dried fruits is that some of them lose much of their nutritional content during processing. It’s hard to tell how a company processes their dried fruits unless they specify that on the label. Some processes add sulfur dioxide to dried fruit to preserve their color and taste. However, adding sulfur dioxide also degrades some nutrients, especially thiamine. Some companies blanch (boil or steam) fruits before drying them, in an effort to kill possible contaminants and speed up the drying process. Unfortunately, blanching kills vitamin C, as well as other nutrients.
Dried Fruits vs. Fresh Fruits
Dried fruits tend to be higher in calories and sugar than fresh fruit. This is in part because drying a fruit shrinks it, so you’re likely to eat much more when compared to the fresh version. Another reason for the high calorie content is that most dried fruits have sugar added to them to make them more candy-like. You can look for unsweetened fruits in health food stores but be prepared for them to taste tart or bland in comparison to the real thing.
