  1. What are Dried or Dry Fruits and Nuts? These snacks are all the healthy nuts and dried fruits like almonds, cashew, raisins, prunes, etc., that you find in markets and department stores all around you. Dried fruits are basically fresh fruits that have been dried. Fruits are dehydrated by conventional sun-drying or other drying techniques. They shrivel up and the pulpy remains are the dry fruits that you enjoy at breakfast or during those mid-meal breaks. As the water content is removed, the fruits become energy-bombs with concentrated nutrients. Some of the most common dry fruits and nuts are raisins, cashew nuts,almonds, walnuts, dates, figs, prunes and apricots. Some varieties of dried fruits like mangoes, pineapples, cranberries, etc., are also available in sugar-coated candied versions. Of these, dry fruits devoid of any additives are the best for your body.

  2. 5 Benefits Of Dry Fruits That you Should Know  • 1. Boost Immunity and Help Fight Diseases Loaded with essential nutrients, the benefits of dry fruits and nuts for health cannot be overlooked. Dry fruits increase your nutrient intake as they are rich in potassium, iron, folate, calcium and magnesium. The antioxidants boost your immunity, keeping you healthy and free from diseases and other illnesses.

  3. 2. Help Combat Cancer • If you have grown up having soaked almonds, then you have been fighting cancer right from the start. Almonds and cashew nuts are known to curtail breast cancer. Phytonutrients, found in apricots and apples, act as antioxidants and prevent the growth of cancer-causing cells. Nuts like pistachios prevent the growth of tumours especially in the lungs and the prostate. Brazil nuts and walnuts also fight cancer cells in the body.

  4. 3. Help With Weight Loss • People who include nuts and dried fruits in their diet are well-aware of dry fruits’ benefits for weight loss. When consumed in moderation, they help you reduce weight and stay fit. Those who swear by dry fruits are known to take in lesser fats, sugar and more essential nutrients for proper metabolism.

  5. 4. Fight Constipation • Dry fruits like anjeer or figs have many benefits as they are rich in fibres which ensure a healthy bowel. Fibre helps the body remove waste from the body smoothly. Other fibrous dry fruits include prunes and dried apricots. Pistachios and dates make your bowel more flexible and, therefore, relieve constipation.

  6. 5. Keep Your Tummy Healthy • Prunes and other dried fruits have fibres, both soluble and insoluble, which improve digestion and keep your stomach and gut healthy. The soluble fibres act as a probiotic and maintain the required good bacteria. The laxative properties of almonds and walnuts help maintain a happy gut.
