A new danger of dried fruits has been named

Dried fruits are considered one of the most controversial products. Scientists still cannot come to a single opinion about their benefits. Someone is categorically against dried fruit in the diet, and someone claims that it is the healthiest snack.

Proponents of their consumption claim that dried fruits are very nutritious and contain a large amount of useful substances. Due to the high content of fiber, dried fruits have a positive effect on the functioning of the intestines, improving digestion.

However, the product has several cons that should be taken into account. First of all, dried fruits contain a lot of sugar, so they are quite high in calories. For this reason, they should be used in extremely high doses, otherwise there is a risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and weight gain.

In addition, it is important to remember the content of sulfites in dried fruits. Many choose them incorrectly at first, preferring wrinkled and brown smooth and beautiful ones. However, dried fruit should not look very appetizing, as it loses water over time.

Therefore, some manufacturers decided to treat the product with special compounds containing sulfites. It is they who give the dried fruits a "look from the cover". It is only worth considering that sulfites can seriously harm health.

Another disadvantage of dried fruits is mold. If the place where they lie is too wet, fungus forms very quickly on their surface. Although it is perfectly washed off with running water, there is not much pleasant about it.
