Dried fruits

Apricots and figs are my favourite among dried fruits although I do like most of them.
Both figs and apricots are a bit hard on the teeth and so I soak them in sugar syrup when they turn soft and taste better.
I just read about dates being loaded with nutrients with zero cholesterol. I will search for some quality dates and may start adding them to my daily diet.
What dried fruits do you normally eat?

I like to eat many dried fruits, such as hazelnuts, pistachios, and prunes.

I like those too but pistachios are always saltled and so I avoid them.

@allknowing Haha, this is very in line with my taste. The dishes we usually cook are mainly salty

Here also it is sold but it is first made into pulp and spread on a mat, dried and cut into pieces.

I like raisins as they are readily available here. Prunes are also my favorite since childhood but they are rather hard to come by here. We have dried mango here the green and the yellow ones are also good here as well as dried pineapple too.

@allknowing As cashew and peanuts are the most widely available here, even though I adore other nuts, they are my favorites.

Raisins I suppose are easily available everywhere. I have not had prunes in years.

@DianneN Almonds were meant to be the most expensive but Medjoul has taken over

We were introduced to dried fruits by our brother (who is no more) Dried fruits even in those days were expensive and inspite of limited funds he picked those for us and that is how I got hooked on and they are my favourite.

I eat dates because we always have it in our fridge, they are regularly given to us by friends who work in the. Middle east but I only take small bite because it's very sweet. I like prunes and dried ripe mangoes.

Next time your friends from the Middle East ask them for the Medjoul dates that are huge in size. I bought them here once after I got the taste that my niece gave me
I do not need to eat dried ripe mangoes as mangoes grow in our garden

@allknowing they get very soft and syrupy and are delicious this way. Plus in a bowl as a dessert with wipped cream,
