Description
Overconsumption may lead to weight gain or allergies in some cases. You can have them every day as a healthy alternative to common snack items. Just a handful of mixed dry or dried fruits daily is good enough to curb hunger pangs and contains enough nutrients that you would need in the entire day.
Dry Fruits vs Dried Fruits
While both may sound like the same thing and many people even use them interchangeably, there is a slight difference between the two. Dried fruits can be any fruit that has been dried naturally, sun drying or artificially through a mechanical process using a dehydrator. Dried fruits include raisins, apricots, cranberries, figs, peaches, apples, bananas, plums, prunes, tomatoes pineapples etc. They contain the same nutritional or caloric value as the undried fruit but lack the water content.
Dry fruits, on the other hand, are fruits that are not pulpy or succulent. There is a long list of dry fruits that one can consume on a daily basis for added fibre and protein in their diet. In comparison, dried fruits are much higher in calories and sugar level than dry fruits. Today, dry and dried fruits are both collectively referred to as dry fruits.

Dry Fruits Side Effects
While dry fruits contain so many healthy nutrients, they also have a high content of saturated fats. This makes them high in calories and not suitable for people trying to lose weight. Those with heart problems, diabetes, obesity, gallstones, water retention and hypertension should also avoid them for the high caloric value.
Best Time to Eat Dry Fruits
To gain maximum benefit from nuts, dry and dried fruits, the best time to consume them is in the morning. Add them to your breakfast as a natural remedy for lethargy, fatigue and for regulating blood pressure. Eating them in the morning will also give you a surge of energy that you need throughout the day to remain active. Traditionally, dry fruits are soaked in water overnight. The next morning, skin them before consuming to make them healthier. This reduces the level of saturated fats, making them more nutritious.
