Drying fruits not only does not lose nutrients, but is concentrated. Next, the editor will explain to you the nutrients of drying fruits and the difference between fruit dryers and ovens.

1. Are dried fruits still nutritious?

Dried fruits retain most of their antioxidant ingredients. Red, blue, purple-black fruits are particularly rich in anthocyanin antioxidants, which are concentrated after drying.

Especially those dried red grapes and dried blackcurrants with thicker peels and darker colors have better health effects when eaten with the skin on.

After the fruit becomes dried, mineral components such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and boron are not lost, but are concentrated, and the nutrient density is greatly improved. For example, raisins, dried apples, dried bananas, etc. are all good sources of minerals such as potassium and magnesium.

2. The difference between a fruit dryer and an oven

Oven: As the name suggests, it is baked at high temperature. An electric oven uses radiant heat emitted by an electric heating element to bake food. Utensil, we can use it to make roast chicken, roast duck, bake bread, pastries, etc. According to the different needs of baked goods, the temperature of the electric oven can generally be adjusted within the range of 50-250°C.

The fruit dryer uses the hot air circulation function. The principle is similar to natural sunlight drying, and the temperature is in the range of 0-70. Dried fruits, dried meats, vegetables, etc. The dried fruits are very tasty. The most common dried snack is dried sweet potatoes. The dried sweet potatoes dried by yourself do not have any additives. They have natural fructose and a slight sweetness. The taste and greasy chewiness are dried and put in a sealed bottle to take with you. Take a few when you want a snack or are hungry.

The working principles of both are the same. They both use AC to drive the heating tube to heat the ambient temperature of the workroom. The difference between the two lies in the heating temperature. The control temperature of the dryer is between 35 and 75 degrees, and the control temperature of the oven is between 50 and 250 degrees. In theory, the oven can replace the dryer, but low-end ovens and small ovens It will not be equipped with a circulating hot air function, and the price of the oven is much higher than that of a household dryer.

However, ovens and dried fruit machines are still different types of electrical appliances, and they can both produce different delicacies, but the effects produced by the two cannot replace each other.
