Dried fruits - who has not eaten them? Who hasn't tasted dried fruits such as apricots, plums, raisins, dates or figs? They are very appetizing, tasty and healthy. There are also those less tasty, but even more healthy, such as chokeberry, currant, sea buckthorn, and schisandra. They all provide a lot of energy and are a mine of valuable carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, phenolic compounds and fiber. So they are the source of the so-called antioxidants that help fight free radicals that cause faster aging and cause many diseases and inflammations. Dried fruit helps to maintain the healthy appearance of the skin, hair, nails, and the good condition of internal organs. They can be eaten not only as a snack, but added to muesli, ice cream, desserts and cakes.

Dried fruit is a real mine of substances valuable for health, necessary for the proper functioning of the body, so they are mainly carbohydrates (simple and complex), fiber (also a type of complex carbohydrate - including the water-soluble fraction, i.e. pectin), proteins and, to a lesser extent, fats . We find here many strong antioxidants such as:

A. vitamins A, E, K or group B

B. polyphenols, including:                                                                                                                                                      -        a. flavonoids, such as anthocyanins (especially in dark fruits such as chokeberry, haskap berry, black currant), flavonols,                   flavanols                                                                                                                                                                              b. phenolic acids such as common gallic or chlorogenic acid                                                                                                        c. stilbens (e.g. resveratrol lignans (e.g. schizandrol)                                                                                                         

C. minerals (macronutrients such as calcium or magnesium, but also micronutrients such as iron or selenium)                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Dried fruit is a valuable source of energy. Regular consumption of them brings us a number of benefits, including:

1. protection against various types of cancer (e.g. colorectal cancer)
2. proper development of bacterial flora in the digestive system (e.g. fructans present in raisins acting as prebiotics)
3. supporting the nervous system (a large amount of B vitamins) and the smooth functioning of the brain
4. anti-inflammatory (a lot of flavonoids), antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral (dried goji berries, dried schisandra)
5 anti-atherosclerotic effect, supporting the cardiovascular system by regulating the level of triglycerides and LDL cholesterol in the blood
6. lowering blood pressure (potassium content, but most of all the wonderful dried aronia "bows" here)
7. support in the fight against type II diabetes
8. counteracting neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's (e.g. prunes)
9. facilitate the work of the kidneys and urinary tract (e.g. dried cranberries)
10. strengthen the bone system, protecting against osteoporosis (prunes, dried figs, dried apricots)
11. support the respiratory system
12. delay the aging processes of the body
13. increase libido (e.g. dried dates, dried Chinese citrus)
14. support the functioning of the liver, supporting the fight against viral inflammation (dried Chinese citrus, dried goji berries)
15. improve the appearance of skin, hair and nails (dried apricots)
16. they increase the body's resistance and efficiency and show many other beneficial effects.
