Dried fruit

It may be difficult to believe, but it's possible that these tiny dried fruits contain more calories than you think. This is due to the fact that most dried fruits sold in packages, such as apricots and raisins, are covered in sugar before drying. Common dried fruits contain 38–66% sugar, and consuming excessive amounts of them can lead to weight gain and other health issues.

Of course, dried fruits are still a healthy choice if you can control your sugar intake. As they are often a good source of antioxidants, fiber, iron, and potassium, they make for a nutritious snack when consumed in moderation. The solution is to read ingredient labels and choose products with no added sugar while keeping serving sizes to no more than 20 grams. Most people eat more than they should since dried fruit's small size makes it seem like they're eating less.
