Dry Fruits & Nuts FAQs
-
1. What are dry fruits and nuts?
Dry fruits and nuts are two related categories of nutrient-dense foods. Dry fruits, such as raisins, dates, dried figs, and dried apricots, are fruits that contain very little moisture, either naturally or after controlled drying. Nuts, such as almonds, cashews, walnuts, and pistachios, are edible kernels typically enclosed within a hard shell. Both are widely enjoyed as wholesome snacks and versatile ingredients in everyday cooking, and are often sold together as mixed assortments.
2. Why should dry fruits and nuts be included in a balanced diet?
Dry fruits and nuts are naturally rich in dietary fibre, healthy fats, plant-based protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Including a variety of them in your meals can add nutritional diversity, flavour, and texture to your everyday diet.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but they are different. Dry fruits are fruits that have been naturally or artificially dried, such as raisins, dates, figs, and apricots. Nuts, including almonds, cashews, walnuts, and pistachios, are edible seeds enclosed within a hard shell. Together, they make a nutritious and versatile pantry staple.

7. Should dry fruits be soaked before eating?
