Dried Fruit

As parents, we all want to make sure.. that we give the best to our kids – food is one major concern .. that all other parents can agree with me .. that we take special care.  For some like myself, we believed that giving dried fruits is another way of getting them the Vitamin C that they need.  But is dried fruit a good snack to send to school..?? is dried fruit a healthy snack.. that we make our kids think they are..??

By weight, dried fruit has higher concentration of fibre, vitamins and minerals than fresh – but also more calories and natural sugar.  If we keep the portions small about a quarter cup (50ml) – then dried fruit can be nutritious and healthy.  It can satisfy a sweet craving for the young one too.
