Dried fruit can be divided into two categories:
- The carbohydrate, rich in sugar and low in fat (such as apricots, pineapple, apples, grapes, bananas, dates, plums, figs, blueberries, mangoes, etc.), known as non-oily dried fruit (dehydrated or candied). See dedicated article by clicking here.
- The lipid one, subject of this article, rich in fat and low in sugar (such as peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, coconut, pine nuts, pistachios, chestnuts).
NOTE: lipid nuts include both real fruits but also the seeds of some plants and legumes (eg peanuts).
Generally rich in proteins and particularly energetic, oily dried fruit is a fundamental food in the diet of vegetarians and sportsmen. Thanks to the richness in fiber and the excellent content of mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids (found above all in walnuts), it exerts a protective action against the so-called diseases of well-being (diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and obesity).
In order for these assumptions to be valid, dried fruit must be consumed with a certain parsimony, as a substitute (never in addition) to other less healthy lipid sources (such as animal fats). end of the meal, in order to avoid introducing an excess of calories and thus compromising the daily energy balance.
Given its high calorific value and great richness in fats, dried fruit should be eaten away from main meals, contextualized in snacks perhaps in combination with fresh fruit (e.g. an apple and some almonds or a kiwi or some walnuts). A reasonable serving shouldn't exceed 20 grams, however.
If associated with a fresh fruit, such as an apple or a kiwi, it represents an excellent snack and a valid ally for our health and our daily well-being.
The dried fruit marketed with its own shell does not guarantee the quality of the product, but it is healthier than the chopped or shelled one. In fact, this last category of food, even if packaged in sealed containers, requires the addition of artificial antioxidants, necessary to avoid rancidity of fats and prolong storage times.
