Due to the high contents of carbohydrates found in dry fruits, they are an ideal snack for people involved in high energy sports like mountain biking, or hiking or walking or marathon running.
- Dried apricots are the best source of potassium and sodium. Dried banana also has a high magnesium content. Figs have a lot of calcium.
- Nuts like almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts are very rich in oil. They provide a lot of energy that is obtained in lipids form. Lipids are fatty acids. Hence these dry fruits have high calorie content. But they are also a great source of minerals, fiber and vitamins.
