Dried Fruits/Berries
Health Benefits
Dried fruit is rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. It is also high in phenolic antioxidants, which have numerous health benefits.
How to Select and Preserve
One important note: look for dried fruits that contain no added ingredients, like sweeteners or sulfites- they don’t need it. Dried fruits will keep at room temperature storage for up to six months and can be frozen for extended storage- just make sure they are in an airtight container.
How to Enjoy
Many baking items, such as cookies, muffins, and bread, incorporate dried fruits to add moisture, sweetness, and flavor.
