Fruit Cake Uncooked

Each portion of dried fruit is roughly equivalent to seven times the amount of fresh fruit and the fibre content is considered the same. Unlike bulky fresh fruit, dried fruit can be carried in a small bag in the pocket and can be nibbled whenever one feels the need for an energy boost. Dry fruits are easy to digest, have strong medicinal properties, are a super source of minerals, many essential nutrients and anti-oxidants. The proteins in dried fruit are essential against daily wear of the body. Raisins contain much iron so are beneficial to those suffering from anaemia, are rich in natural sugar and are an age-old treatment for constipation.
