Re: Dry fruits and nuts
Nuts are great! But you've to be careful about dried fruits some contain more sugar and calories than fresh fruits. It's not always added sugar so check the labels before buying. And eat smaller portions of dried fruit than fresh fruit. For instance one cup of grapes contain 60 calories but one cup of raisins contain over 400 calories 'cos one cup can hold more dried fruit than fresh.
Cashew and pistachio are my favorite nuts. Almonds are the healthiest nuts out there.
In dried fruits I like raisins. dates, figs and apricots. I don't like peaches and pineapples though.
