What are the health benefits of dry fruits and nuts?

Health conscious consumers have realized that dry fruits are not only nutritious, good to taste and even doctors and dieticians recommend them as a good snacking option. Dried fruits and nuts are packed with important nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and dietary fiber. Cashews contain mono-unsaturated fatty acids and pistachios have omega -6 fatty acids almonds and walnuts are a rich source of Omega-3-fatty acids.

These fatty acids help to lower LDL (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, also called “bad” cholesterol) and increase HDL (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, also called “good” cholesterol). Dates prevent atherosclerosis which is the deposition of fat in blood vessels. Raisins, prunes, almonds and apricots help to fight anemia. Nuts have a low glycemic index and are helpful in managing Type II diabetes as well as weight loss. These are reasons why the consumption of dry fruit has gone up in recent years but consumers must understand that even though dry fruits have a long history of consumption there are still some food safety precautions to keep in mind when buying them. Just like some of the other products in the food industry, the dry fruit market is a highly unorganized sector. The unorganized production and processing of dry fruits poses higher risk of contamination and adulteration as the unorganized sector is unlikely to follow food safety regulations. Therefore the possibility of contamination during processing, transportation and the storage of dry fruits is a recognizable food safety threat.
