Dried fruits should be eaten in moderation as they are calorie dense, and naturally sweet fruits such as apricots, mangoes, figs and peaches are the healthiest options. But this doesn’t mean dismissing the delicious range of crystallised fruits. Enjoy these delicious fruits at special occasions and for treats.
