In simple terms, a nut is also known as a dry fruit. A dry fruit can be categorized as indehiscent and dehiscent. Dehiscent refers to seed enclosed in a pod while indehiscent refers to seeds which aren't found in a seed pod. This takes account of cashew nuts, pistachios, almonds, and walnuts.

A strawberry is both a low-growing, flowering plant and also the name of the fruit that it produces. Strawberries are soft, sweet, bright red berries. They're also delicious. Strawberries have tiny edible seeds, which grow all over their surface.

Dried fruits are much higher in sugar and have a higher glycemic index compared to fresh fruit, making them a not-so-healthy choice. Dried fruits are full of nutrients, easy to pack, and count toward your daily fruit recommendation!

Dried fruit can boost your fiber and nutrient intake and supply your body with large amounts of antioxidants. However, they are also high in sugar and calories, and can cause problems when eaten in excess. For this reason, dried fruit should only be eaten in small amounts, preferably along with other nutritious foods.

The dried fruit will still be considered as raw. As long as the fruits are still hanging on the tree, they are protected. This means maximum nutrient content and minimal impact from the outside - the result is a gentle drying process and a product in perfect raw food quality.

Many conventionally dried fruits have added sulphur dioxide to preserve the fruits' original colour at ripeness, keep them soft and increase their shelf life.

The chewy dried fruit that we know and love is simply fruit that has been freeze dried, removing its water content (and leaving it high in sugars). Nuts are not dried out in this same fashion and are technically the “seeds” or the “kernels” of different plants that have similar nutritional characteristics to fruit.
