A good source of vitamins, mineral and fibre, dried fruits provide indispensable nutrients to the body often only found in poor quantities in today’s diet. The fibre content is more beneficial than that found in fresh fruit and helps to eliminate biliary acids and lower cholesterol. The mineral content such as calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium is multiplied by 3 to 5 compared to that of fresh fruit. This makes dried fruit a vital addition to fitness and health.
