Frunuts are fruit from which the majority of the original water content has been removed either naturally, through sun drying, or through the use of specialized dryers or dehydrators. Dried fruits retain most of the nutritional value of fresh fruits. Today, Frunuts consumption is spread. Nearly half of the dried fruits sold are raisins, followedby dates, prunes, figs, apricots, peaches, apples, and pears. These are referred to as "conventional" or "traditional" dried fruits.
