Dried fruits

Dried fruit is fruit from which most of the water has been removed by drying, giving it a longer shelf life and a concentrated, sweet taste. Common varieties include raisins, apricots, dates, figs and cranberries. Dried fruit is often eaten as a snack, added to muesli, baked goods or salads, and is popular for its natural sweetness and nutrients such as fiber and minerals.
