About Me
The rising inclination of people towards nutritious and healthy snacks, owing to increasing health consciousness, is driving the dried fruits market share. Dried fruits have a lower glycemic index and are widely consumed by diabetic patients to replace higher glycemic index foods. The growing working-class segment, the increasing vegetarian population, and their improved living standards are enabling them to incorporate dried fruits into their diet. Dried fruits are a source of antioxidants and fibre. Dried apricots and peaches are also good sources of carotenoids, which the body turns into vitamin A, while prunes, raisins, and apricots also contain iron. The expansion of supermarkets and hypermarkets and the emergence of e-commerce platforms are leading to the easy availability of dried fruits.
