Dried Fruit, Nuts, and Oilseeds – Healthy and Delicious
Traditional dried fruits, such as figs, raisins, apricots, dates, or apples, have been a staple of mankind’s diet for several centuries. The origins of dried fruit can be traced back to the Middle East (Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, as well as Egypt). At first, grapes, dates, or figs simply fell from the trees or vines and were dried by the heat of the sun. The process of drying fruit represents the earliest form of food conservation and the resulting dried fruit served as an important source of vitamins for caravans on long journeys through the desert or at sea to protect from scurvy.
From a botanical perspective, nuts also belong to the fruit family. In comparison to other varieties of fruit, nuts display quite a different chemical composition. One significant difference is that nuts contain only a small amount of water, but large amounts of protein and fat in the form of polyunsaturated fatty acids instead, which the human body cannot produce on its own.
In terms of their nutritional value, oilseeds demonstrate many similarities to nuts. They are also rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, and they stand out due to their high amounts of essential fatty acids, which is why many oilseeds are pressed for their valuable oil. Aside from their taste and nutritional value, issues concerning food safety and the legal requirements associated with it also play a decisive role in the quality assessment of these products.
In order to guarantee the quality and safety of dried fruit, nuts, and oilseeds, the GBA Group provides you with comprehensive, expert consulting and numerous product-specific analyses, so that you can gain the assurance you need in order to trade your food products.
