Aus-KTC Dried Fruits

Did you know?

Dried fruits are the result of a natural preservation process where moisture is removed from fresh, ripe fruits, leaving behind a concentrated and flavorful treat. During this process, the water content is reduced, extending the shelf life of the fruits while intensifying their taste, sweetness, and nutrients. Dried fruits contain as much of the vitamins, minerals, and fiber as fresh fruit does, making them a nutritious and convenient snack option.

Another great fact is that Iran is one of the world's leading producers and exporters of yellow, green, black, and brown sultanas. These dried grapes are packed into boxes or bags and shipped to various international markets for eating and use in cooking and baking.
