I love fruits no matter how it's done dried, frozen and of course fresh.The nutrients of dried fruits depends on how long the fruit was around before it was dried. Some commercial dried fruits may contain an additional sulfur dioxide which can lead to asthma for some people, Now, you might be asking why sulfur? The sulfur is used to "fix" the color of the fruit.
But there are also no-sulfur dried fruits available in stores that you can try. So, what nutrients do you get from dried fruits?Here are some vitamins that you can get from dried fruits
Vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B6,
pantothenic acid
and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium,
phosphorus, potassium, sodium, copper, manganese)(courtesy of Wikipedia).
