A popular snack for many, and used in many recipes, but what is it, and is dried fruit good for you?

While the fruit is drying it shrinks and leaves an energy-dense fruit that can be preserved for much longer than fresh.

Dried fruit not only tastes great, but it is also highly nutritious, and a convenient handy snack that is perfect for lunchboxes and on the go.

The most popular types of dried fruit include raisins and sultanas (dried grapes), apricots, dates, prunes (dried plums), and figs.
