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.
