Storage of dried fruits is much easier and less challenging than fresh fruit. Bacteria can quickly grow on the surface of fresh fruits while setting a limitation on storage and duration of which you can use fresh fruits. On the other hand, dried fruits are immune to bacteria contamination, and one can keep them for years under proper storage conditions. This is particularly helpful for those people who plan long-distance trips or are fans of climbing and camping. Necessary facilities during camping can limit the possibility of taking fresh fruits, but dried ones are less heavy and easier for storage.
Dried fruits are a great source of healthy calories. They can boost your energy level without the risk of fat gain. However, one should notice that dried fruits are less bigger than their original fresh versions. Therefore, eating more dried fruits of the same type as their fresh version is more probable. The latter can easily be translated to more calorie intake.
For instance, one may not be successful in taking three apricots in two hours, but it is much easier to hit this record with the dried version. The other important issue is the amount of added sugar. Some of the dried food suppliers add sugar to dried fruits, and this can introduce some unhealthy sources of calories. This can be easily determined by the packaging or suppliers’ reports for each product, but it is a crucial matter to be taken into account.
