Fruit can be a tasty, refreshing snack, and it’s a healthy way to provide your body with essential vitamins and minerals. Since most fruits need to be kept refrigerated after they’re cut, opt for dried fruit to enjoy them on the road. Here are a few reasons why you should be eating more of this healthy food.

3 Benefits of Eating Dried Fruit

1. Versatile

Dried fruit is an easy, portable snack alone or mixed with other ingredients, like yogurt and granola. Opt for dried papayas, pineapples, and apricots to switch up the flavors. You can also create your own trail mix with a variety of dried choices, and add nuts, like almonds, walnuts, and cashews. Snacks like these are perfect for a relaxing day at the beach if you’re headed to the North Shore for the day, or simply just having a family picnic at Kapiolani Park! 

2. Convenient

Since dehydrated fruit is nonperishable, you can bring it with you anywhere without having to worry that it’ll spoil especially with the extreme heat we’ve been experiencing. When packing a snack bag for your keiki, opt for dried fruit instead of chips. Chips aren’t as healthy as fruit, and they may crumble under your bag’s contents.

3. Full of Nutrients

The dehydration process concentrates nutrients, providing you with the same amount of vitamins and fiber as fresh fruit. If you’re feeling under the weather, grab a bag of dried pineapple, guava, or lemon for a concentrated dose of vitamin C. Fuji apples and apricots are both rich in fiber, so munching on these dried fruits can support your digestive system. If you can’t decide which fruit to get, opt for a mixed bag so that you can reap all the benefits.
