There are many things to get excited about the nutritional benefits of fruit. Dried or fresh, getting an apt amount of fruit in your diet can have helpful effects on your overall wellness by helping to regulate blood pressure, keep your cholesterol in check, and deliver you with antioxidants and important nutrients like potassium and calcium.

It seems we are always advised to eat more fresh fruits and veggies. All over the place there is evidence of the nutritional value packed into plant-based foods. Good food doesn’t always come easy, though, and fresh fruit can undoubtedly be in that category. 

The most important thing to remember is that the nutritional punch of dried fruit remains largely unchanged. For this reason, keeping a portion everywhere you go is very important. Eating dried fruit can be the point where a healthy snack becomes your immunity booster.
