When buying dried fruits, many people are prone to fall into the misunderstanding of "the brighter the better" and "the sweeter the better". In fact, high-quality dried fruits have their obvious criteria for judgment. If you master these skills, you can choose natural and healthy dried fruits.

First of all, look at the appearance, the color of high-quality dried fruit is natural, without obvious fading, the flesh is complete, without damage and mildew points. For example, the color of raisins is natural dark purple or green, and dried mango is natural golden yellow. If the color is too bright, artificial pigment may be added.

Secondly, smell the smell, the high-quality dried fruit has the natural fruit flavor of the fruit itself, and has no pungent flavor, sour or musty flavor. If the smell is too strong, flavor may be added. Again, taste, high-quality dried fruit taste dry, chewy, moderate sour and sweet, no obvious sweet, if the taste is too soft and sticky, may add too much sugar or preservative.

Finally, look at the ingredient list, give priority to products with only "fresh fruit" or "fruit with a small amount of white sugar" in the ingredient list, and avoid dried fruits with artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, especially for the elderly and children. Pay attention to the purity of the ingredients.
