What's the difference between dried fruit, preserved fruit and nuts?

In the mainland, especially in the southeast coastal areas, the climate is humid and fruits cannot be preserved for a long time. If it is to be preserved, it can only be processed into preserved fruit. The processing of preserved fruit is usually divided into pickling or candied fruit, and some additives, such as sucrose, honey, artificial pigment, citric acid, etc., are added, and some preservatives are added during the processing. Common preserved fruits are plums, cherry tomatoes and preserved apricots.

In northwest China, such as Xinjiang, the climate is very dry, and fruits can be naturally dried into dried fruits. The processing of dried fruit is very simple, that is, it is naturally air-dried and dehydrated by itself. In addition, there is nothing else. So dried fruit is the healthiest fruit. Such as red dates and dried apricots.

Besides, what are nuts? Nuts are usually the core of some kind of fruit. Such as almonds and walnuts. These stones are taken out of the fruit and dried into nuts. In the southeast coastal areas, nuts can't be preserved for a long time, because the climate is too humid, so merchants have to process and preserve them, such as making various bagged snacks. This process is usually fried, such as salted curd. When choosing nuts, expectant mothers should try to choose nuts with original flavor or lightly fried flavor.
