In order to be able to eat different fruits in different seasons, people through the food processing process, the fresh fruit processing into dried fruit, we commonly have raisins, dried bananas, etc., although the fruit itself is not the taste, but has another unique.
Then the key to the problem is: fruit processed into dry, it is the loss of nutrition?
First, let's look at how dried fruit is made. The most primitive dried fruit manufacturing process is hot air drying, borrowing natural conditions to let the fruit dry, remove water, so that microorganisms can not survive in the dried fruit, which can be retained for a longer period of time.
With the development of science and technology to the present day, the dried fruit manufacturing technology is more abundant, including vacuum drying, freeze drying, spray drying and so on.
In fact, fruit in the process of making dried fruit is only the loss of water, its nutrients are not lost, on the contrary, after concentration, these nutrients are more concentrated.
There is nothing more valuable than the fact that dried fruit does not require the intervention of preservatives, and because of the extremely high sugar content the interior is extremely dry, microorganisms and bacteria can not survive, so dried fruit can be preserved for a long time in its natural state.
But dried fruit can not eat more, because dried fruit is dehydrated fruit concentration, its sugar is very high, so people eat dried fruit must pay attention to the amount of up to 30 grams per day, otherwise it will trigger the accumulation of sugar to the conversion of fat.
For diabetics, high blood sugar patients and other people, the consumption of dried fruit should be more cautious, not more than 10 grams per day at most, so as not to cause an increase in blood sugar.
In addition, dried fruit is not necessarily as a snack to eat, can also be consumed with the main food, usually can be dried fruit into the millet porridge, so that not only meet the millet porridge taste rich, but also greatly supplemented by sugar. In addition, the dried fruit into the steamed bread or bread is also a very good way to eat.
