There is no need to prove the benefits of dried fruits to anyone. That is why they are often suggested to be included in the diet when fighting excess weight or on a diet.
But does this mean that dried fruits can replace fresh fruits?
Experts have explained what is healthier to eat on a diet – fresh or dried fruit?
Popular misconception
In fact, dried fruits are not the healthiest alternative to fresh apples or pears. Such a diet can even cause weight gain.
Drying reduces the moisture content of fruits, but retains the amount of calories.
Therefore, trying to satisfy hunger with dried fruits, a person eats more of them.
The risk of weight gain is thought to increase with the consumption of dried dates. There are about 67 calories per 24 grams.
The same number of calories is found in every 28 grams of prunes or dried apricots.
Fresh fruit
Fresh fruits are less caloric but more nutritious.
At the same time, they contain more vitamins and nutrients, as well as fiber, which allows you to maintain a feeling of satiety for a long time.
