Because its nutrition is concentrated even though it looks small,<strong>\u201cIsn\u2019t it high in calories?\u201d and \u201cWill I gain weight if I eat too much?\u201d<\/strong>are perfectly reasonable worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, dried fruit contains dietary fiber, vitamins, polyphenols, and more.

Because driving off the moisture concentrates both nutrients and sugars, gram for gram it has more calories than fresh fruit. It\u2019s important to grasp concretely just how different fresh and dried are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example:<a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/product\/apple\/\">apples<\/a>in the case of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fresh apple 100 g \u2026 about 54 kcal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dried apple 100 g \u2026 about 260\u2013300 kcal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example:<a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/product\/banana\/\">Banana<\/a>in the case of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fresh banana 100 g \u2026 about 86 kcal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dried banana 100 g \u2026 about 350 kcal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, dried fruit is \u201csatisfying even in small amounts, but high in calories if you overeat.\u201d So it may be wise to be careful about polishing off a whole bag before you realize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_rHxCJDrM\">Nutrients That Help with Dieting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s premature to write off dried fruit as a \u201cfattening food\u201d just because it\u2019s high in calories. In fact, it\u2019s also rich in nutrients that support dieting.
