Dried fruits, often enjoyed during Tu Bishvat, are celebrated for their vibrant appearance and health benefits, including fiber, minerals, and antioxidants. However, the drying process concentrates not only these nutrients but also the sugar and calorie content, making some dried fruits more similar to candy than to their fresh counterparts. Additives and extra sugars are sometimes included, further increasing their sweetness and caloric value. To make healthier choices, it is important to understand the differences between various dried fruits and to pay attention to what is actually in each serving.
