The second is the natural method, where dried fruits are dried in the sun. The second method takes longer, but it's available to almost anyone. That is, making dried fruits at home is very, very easy. All you have to do is cut the fruit you want into small pieces and then dry them out in the open air under direct sunlight.
Dried fruits can boast a high content of B vitamins, as well as vitamin A. Dried fruits contain a lot of minerals: sodium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and calcium. Dried fruits keep for a very long time. Storing dried fruits also doesn't require low temperatures. It's enough to keep dried fruits in a dry, dark place — for example, put them in a linen or canvas bag and keep them in a pantry or a kitchen cupboard.
The most famous dish is
dried fruit compote
. This drink is very often made in many families. Though dried fruits can be added to a great many other dishes — in baking, for example, or in
porridge
. Muesli with dried fruits is also very tasty.
The most famous and widespread dried fruits are raisins, dried apricots, and prunes. Sweet candied fruits, which are also dried fruits, are sold in stores in large quantities. Dried sweet dates are dried fruits too. In addition, the following may be sold as dried fruits: dried figs, dried cherries, dried pears, dried apples, dried bananas, dried peaches. In Georgia, for example, a very common treat is dried persimmon. Dried persimmon isn't used as an ingredient in various dishes — it's a treat on its own. Drying persimmons — that's one of the ways to keep this fruit for a longer time.
