What Is Dried Fruit?
The Ancient Mesopotamians first discovered the benefits of drying and dehydration when fruits such as grapes, dates, and figs fell from their trees or vines and would dry in the hot sun. Some of the earliest hunter-gatherers valued them for both their sweetness and stability, making it one of the earliest methods of food preservation.
Today, dried fruits are now a part of diets worldwide. Raisins are one of the most widely consumed dried fruits, but dates, cranberries, and apricots are just among a handful of fresh fruits that can be dehydrated and have become a favorite and versatile snack around the globe!
