Dry Fruits

Hi All, this week I want to talk about dry fruits. Lot of us eat dry fruits in a daily routine. Have we ever thought of :
1. What are dry fruits?
2. What are the benefits of eating dry fruits?
3. Which dry fruits needs to be eaten daily?

Dry fruits are fruits from which water content is removed naturally, i.e. when fruits are dried in the sun or by any technical means then they become dry fruit. During the process of drying the fruit it shrinks leaving a small energy-dense dried fruit. They are rich in vitamins and proteins. They boost our immunity and prevent diseases caused due to our lifestyle, such as cholesterol and diabetes. Most dry fruits are rich in minerals, proteins, fiber and vitamins. When we add to dry fruits to food they increases the taste and will be delicious too. Dry fruits are best and healthy substitute for our daily snacks. The dry fruits which we generally eat in our day today life are raisins, cashews, dates, almonds, walnuts, fig and many more.

Few benefits of dryfruits are:
1. Almonds are effective for improving hemoglobin.
2. Dates are great energy boosters as they contain natural sugars.
3. Cashew nuts helps to control cholesterol and high blood pressure.
4. Fig is good for body, prevents from hypertension and weight loss.
5. Raisins protect our eyes from vision related problem.
6. Pistachios helps to stabilize blood sugar and provides fibers and proteins to our body.
7. Dehydrated fruits like kiwi, apricot, mango, dates, pineapple fights with cancer, improves memory and normalize the blood sugar level.
8. Cranberries is full of vitamin C, improves mental health and good for our respiratory system.

We can eat all dryfruits daily but there is a limit for it. We cannot consume more than 20gms in a day. Now we have learnt of dry fruits are beneficial for our body, hope from today we all start eating dryfruits as a snack instead of fried or packed food from outside. 😋 I have found a healthy way of consume it by making a dryfruit ladoo 😄.
